Be A Student’s Friend at
Orange Hill is excited to announce a brand new mentoring partnership with Sanders Elementary School in Austell. The heart of mentoring is really simple, “being a friend.” We are working in a three-way partnership with Kids Hope USA, a Christian organization that helps churches and schools partner together to pair up volunteer mentors with elementary students.
Kids Hope USA volunteers spend one hour, once per week, at the school with their assigned student during lunch or whenever is best for your schedule). Excellent training, support, and resources are provided.
One of the best ways we can make a difference is to spend time caring about, speaking words of affirmation, and investing in the life of a child.

Orange Hill Baptist Church and other Unite! Churches are excited about the Kids Hope USA mentoring program because... it is a partnership between the school, the church, the teacher, the mentor, and the child. Everyone is working together for the good of the child. Kids Hope USA has the leadership and ability to equip church members to make a tangible difference in the lives of students and to live out their faith in a winsome and attractive way in the schools, while respecting and adhering to the “separation of church and state” guidelines.
Kids Hope USA provides specific and detailed training to mentors as to how to spend their time with the child they’re mentoring. The mentoring hour can consist of a variety of activities including: getting to know each other and having fun, academic work (assigned by the teacher), and creative play (resources provided by Kids Hope USA).
