Kids Hope USA is dedicated to developing one-on-one relationships through church-school partnerships that pair church members with at-risk kids in supportive mentoring relationships. Mentors spend just one hour per week reading, talking, playing and listening to a child at a local school. Helping the child feel loved and valued helps that child to learn, grow and succeed.
