Kids Hope USA

You can change a life…and that’s no small change. One simple thing will make a big difference in the life of an at-risk child: One-on-one, positive attention from a responsible, caring adult. KIDS HOPE USA develops these one-on-one relationships through the creation of church-school partnerships that pair church members with at-risk kids in supportive, mentoring relationships. KIDS HOPE USA mentors spend just one hour per week, reading, talking, playing, and listening to a child at some St. Vrain Valley School District. By helping the child feel loved and valued, they help that child to learn, grow and succeed. To learn more, contact Kim Wikre, ext. 261.
