Kids Hope USA is a national mentoring program offered as an afterschool program at Eagle Rock Elementary (since the 2007-2008 school year). Children are selected and nominated for the program by the school (parents cannot elect to send their kids to this program). Each student in the program meets one-on-one with a mentor from the community.
The mentoring happens at a minimum of one hour every week, and mentors and kids try to go "F.A.R." in each session. They do something Fun, work on Academics, and build their Relationship |
Let the Numbers Speak
Data for students who met with a Kids Hope USA mentor for just one year showed:
All Kids Hope USA mentors are carefully screened using a process that includes an application, a criminal history check, a personal interview and pastor approval. Mentors must also submit to screening requirements at the school. They are thoroughly trained by the program Director, using comprehensive materials provided by the Kids Hope USA National Office, and also attend an orientation session at the school. Ongoing supervision and support is provided to all volunteers by the program Director. Mentors at our school all attend Christian Assembly church in Eagle Rock and respect the separation of church and state. For more information about the national scope of the program click here.
