KIDS HOPE USA program at Fairway |
 |
Church members model the love of Christ by building a relationship one hour a week with a child at Grandville West Elementary. This consistent nurturing relationship with a mentor fosters a child's ability to learn. Because of improvements in behavior and academic performance, the teachers, principal and parents are requesting more mentors. Lives are being changed through the power of a loving relationship. |
Our Mission:
KIDS HOPE USA builds caring relationships...
one child, one hour, one church, one school.
Our Belief:
We believe in Jesus' way.
Our Values:
- Children- because every child matters.
- Relationships- because love is only possible person to person.
- Faithfulness- because if I say I will, I will.
- Prayer- because it is our language of hope.
What is KIDS HOPE USA?
KIDS HOPE USA churches give hope to children in public elementary schools through a relationship with a caring church member.
| H: | Helping to meet the emotional, social and academic needs of at-risk children by giving them a one-to-one relationship with a mentor from our church. |
| O: | Owned by our church. This is our ministry to children and families at Grandville West Elementary. |
| P: | Prayer is the foundation for our work. A behind-the-scenes prayer partner from our church prays for each adult-child relationship. |
| E: | Elementary school children are our focus. They need mentoring most because they are at that critical time when values are formed, self-esteem is developed and critical academic skills must be aquired. |
