About Kids Hope USA
Transforming Lives Through Mentoring Since 2001
In 2001, CUMC began a ministry to help our community by building relationships with elementary students.
- Since then we've reached hundreds of Kids/families.
- We average 30 Kids (Kindergarten - 5th grade) each year.
- Each Kid has a Mentor who goes to school for 1 hour each week. They read, work on math facts, play games, and do whatever the teacher asks. They stay together through 5th grade.
- Kids and Mentors have a Prayer Partner who prays for their relationship each week. They are an important part of the team.
- All of our volunteers are CUMC members.
- Mentors are screened and trained before they are matched with a Kid.
- Students are selected by the school to be in Kids Hope USA.
- In addition to Kids & Mentors meeting each week during the school year, we also have:
- parties after school
- a National Mentoring Month Celebration for all KHUSA families and our congregation in January
- a pool party in the summer
- summer field trips
- an Operation Backpack Party in August
