KIDS HOPE PROGRAM

 

Seventh is participating in Kid's Hope USA.

Kids Hope USA is an award-winning mentoring program that works exclusively through local churches, teaching them to engage their own members in one-to-one relationships with at-risk public elementary school children.  Focus is on the youngest children because these are critical, formative years in which values are formed, self-esteem is developed, and academic skills are acquired. Kids Hope USA mentors use a weekly one hour "event" to build a relationship focused on the child's emotional and social needs. These relationships are supported by a behind-the-scenes prayer partner. Mentors are trained to abide by the rules of the host organization. While there is no evangelism at the school, participation in church activities may occur with parental approval.
Schools in 27 states have embraced Kids Hope USA.
