Celebrating 25 Years
Kids Hope USA turns 25 this year! Join us as we celebrate the positive life-change that happens as friendships are built one hour at a time, as children and mentors meet one on one.
We invite you to make a gift this spring as we finish our 25th year of mentoring. Your generosity helps support our current programs and establish more life-changing relationships in the future.
Building Life-Changing Relationships
For over 25 years, Kids Hope USA has provided a proven, life-changing program through church-school partnerships that train and equip mentors to reach kids in public schools who are in-need of caring, reliable, one-on-one relationships.
We provide structure, training, support, and resources designed for use in public schools by churches to give kids what they need most—hope and love from a mentor.
Together, we can make a life-long difference. In every school, in every community. One young heart at a time. Let’s do this in yours.
Connecting during the Coronavirus Pandemic
Schools know the difference relationships make.
