Mentors Make a Difference.

All children face challenges. Sometimes kids need a little support to build resilience and hope. Research shows that by helping a child feel loved and valued, the child can better learn, grow and succeed.

A Kids Hope USA mentor spends one hour each week talking, reading, playing and listening to a child at Gardere Community Christian School (whom we have partnered with since 2019). Mentors receive training and support.

Our Mission: Kids Hope USA builds caring relationships. One child, one hour, one church, one school.

Our Belief: We believe in Jesus’ way.

Our Values: 

Prayer. Because it is our language of hope.

Children. Because every child matters.

Relationships. Because love is only possible person-to-person.

Faithfulness. Because if I say I will, I will.
