For children, elementary years are critical for their development, as they form values, establish self-esteem, and acquire academic skills. Often this includes having support, encouragement, and one-on-one attention. Through a Kids Hope USA mentoring program, students develop transformative relationships with an additional caring and consistent adult, empowering them to thrive. Research shows that by helping a child feel loved and valued, that child can better learn, grow, and succeed.
What to expect:
After training, Kids Hope mentors will spend one hour each week talking, reading, playing, and listening to a child at Huff Elementary School.
