About Kids Hope USA

Kids Hope USA is a mentoring/tutoring program that partners with Roosevelt Elementary School in Zeeland.  Ottawa recruits members from the church to spend one hour a week mentoring young students in first through fifth grade.  The school staff identifies students who could benefit from a mentor working on a one-to-one basis and they are then paired with a person from Ottawa.  Kids Hope USA believes that every child matters.  This value is shown through a faithful relationship between a mentor and a student.  The reason that Kids Hope USA works is that there is a foundation of prayer!  Each mentor/child relationship is backed with a prayer partner praying for them.  We pray that through this relationship we may be “Jesus” with skin.
