Interested In Volunteering With Us?
One Child. One Hour. One Church. One School.
Here are the ways that YOU can be involved in loving the city through Kids Hope: GET INVOLVED: ONE HOUR AT A TIME
1) MENTOR
Invest one hour per week in the life of a child! You will be screened, trained, and paired with one child at Eagle Rock Elementary. Mentors meet faithfully for one hour weekly, at the school, during the school day. At the end of each session they complete a daily progress report summarizing the mentoring session.
Commitment Level: Weekly = 1 hour, plus 4 hours of training at the start of the school year
Mentor must commit for one school year (9 months)
Mentors meet with students during one of these sessions:
Monday: 2:30 – 3:30 pm or 3:30 – 4:30 pm
Tuesday: 1:30 – 2:30 pm
Wednesday: 2:30 – 3:30 pm
Thursday: 2:15 – 3:15 pm

2) Substitute Mentor:
“Super-Subs” provide a critical link in maintaining a relationship that is being formed with the child. They provide continued one on one mentoring and affirmation for a child presently involved in Kids Hope when his/her regular Mentor is unavailable. The Super Subs primary role is to affirm the child. Their presence when the regular Mentor is absent says to the child, “Yes, we are committed to you”. Super-Subs serve on an “on call” basis throughout the school year and help maintain consistency in student’s lives.
Commitment Level: as needed
*Click on the "super sub application" above fill out the paperwork to serve in this role (Super subs and mentors are screened and trained the same)
3) Prayer Partner:
Make a commitment to pray for one mentor/child pairing. Prayer partners contact the Mentor on a regular basis for a progress report on the relationship, the child’s strengths and weakness, and any other prayer needs, including joys and concerns.
Commitment Level: weekly, at prayer partners discretion
*Click the "prayer partner application" box above to apply to serve in this role.
4) Event Team Volunteer:
Serve in areas of hospitality, prayer, and hosting special events (parties for the kids and their families at CA, by assembling themed crafts/games or serving at a game or food station, etc). Commitment Level: 1 or 2 special events during the school year
If you have any questions about these roles, please feel free to contact the Program Director at 323.313.4103 or kidshope@cachurch.com
