Allen Park Presbyterian Church is in partnership with Arno Elementary School

One simple thing will make a big difference in the life of an at-risk child: One-on-one, positive attention from a responsible, caring adult.  

Kids Hope USA develops these one-on-one relationships through the creation of church-school partnerships that pair church members with at-risk kids in supportive, mentoring relationships.

​Kids Hope USA mentors spend just one hour per week, reading, talking, playing and listening to a child at school. By helping the child feel loved and valued, they help that child to learn, grow and succeed.

Sarah Doyle, APPC Kids Hope USA

Have you ev​er stopped and thought about how we as Americans, greet each other in our daily lives- “Hi, how are you?” …but do we really want the honest answer. The real question we need to ask is the important question - “How are the children?”

The answer isn’t as hopeful as we might think it is, whether we like it or not. We are surrounded by youth at risk.  I could go on and on with sad stories of children who have been abused or neglected, suffered losses and tragedies but I am here to ask you, if you will accept the call to action to spend less than1 one hour - one day a week - with one student that is searching for proof that someone cares. They need that special someone to be their cheerleader, their coach, their friend — to give them the nurture they long for and need.  Can one child count on you?

What is Kids Hope?

KHUSA offers churches and schools a proven, award-winning model to meet the emotional, social and academic needs of children. KHUSA programs create one-on-one mentoring relationships between adult church members, willing to give a little time and a lot of love, and at-risk elementary school-children in their community who desperately need loving, caring adults in their lives. Utilizing the existing structures of churches and elementary schools as the framework for these programs, Kids Hope USA creates successful, sustainable and life-changing church-school partnerships.
