Kids Hope USA Mentoring

Mentors are matched with a student and meet one hour weekly throughout the school year to build a relationship. Hopefully, both the mentor and student are able to continue year to year while in elementary school. Training is provided and mentors often tell us that they receive much more from their student than the student receives from them. These relationships are very special as they make both relational and spiritual impact on both lives.
