At Kids Hope USA, we believe that all kids matter to Jesus and that the local church is uniquely called to care for children in their community who would benefit from another caring, reliable relationship.

Research shows that the common factor in determining a child’s future success is if they have stable, committed, healthy relationships with adults in their lives. For Kids Hope USA students, one of those relationships gets to be with their mentor.

Through proven church-school partnerships, mentors stand alongside parents, teachers, principals and counselors to ensure kids that they are valued and loved. Through the power of relationship, kids build resilience and a brighter future.

Through a Kids Hope USA mentoring program, elementary students meet once a week for one hour with a mentor – a mentor who is there just for them. This one-on-one attention can make a world of difference for a student in need of the support of another caring and consistent adult in their life.
