• Detailed Information

  • There is power in numbers. That’s why the Kids Hope USA Mentoring Program of FUMCFW reaches out to children who need help to beat the odds. When a child has a mentor who cares, it can make all the difference. And when you care a whole awful lot, everything gets better and better. Research shows that students who met with a Kids Hope USA mentor for just one year improved:

    65% in educational success

    79% in socio/emotional competency

    56% in attitude toward risky behavior

    Their mentors kick the stats to the curb — one child, one hour, one church, one school at a time.

    The T.A. Sims Elementary community is only 10 – 15 minutes from our church, yet it is a world very different from the one that is often known to church members. The church’s caring congregation has stepped up, showed up, and stuck with us since 2005 to support these endearing children in so many ways. From weekly one-on-one mentoring visits and prayers to holiday parties, teacher appreciation activities, and donations of school supplies, books, and uniforms, our church has embraced both the children and the school. As always, the Kids Hope mentoring model serves as a guide — it is the PEOPLE who make the difference.”

    Starting in Fall 2017, Kids Hope extended its reach to support even more children, this time in the immediate FUMCFW neighborhood — the students of Charles Nash Elementary School. Upon the first visit between mentors and students, it was instant rapport. The goal of all Kids Hope mentors is to befriend and nurture their students and help them grow in confidence and academic success. The mentoring hour is filled with reading, a variety of learning activities, and shared fun that ends all too soon. They close each mentoring hour by playing a game and sharing a snack and with the reminder that they will meet with the child again the following week — same time, same place.
