Kids Hope

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer for an hour each week to mentor an at-risk student at Townline during the school day. Each mentor and mentee is assigned a prayer partner who prays for them regularly.

We also have Spirit Lifters who pray for the teachers and staff at Townline. The Spirit Lifters pray weekly and send notes of encouragement or gifts 4 or more times during a school year.

The Need

All children face challenges, but some hurdles are bigger than others, and sometimes kids need a little extra support to build resilience and hope.

Our local elementary school needs people willing to build positive, caring, one-on-one relationships with students, to walk alongside them as friends and cheerleaders.

The Opportunity

Kids Hope USA mentors (supported by behind-the-scenes prayer partners) spend one hour per week talking, reading, playing, and listening to a child at school. Research shows that by helping a child feel loved and valued, the child can better learn, grow, and succeed.

Mentor Qualifications

  • Consistently visit one student for one hour each week during the school day.
