This is the basis of KIDS HOPE USA, a national mentoring program where churches train and recruit mentors within their congregation to form one-to-one relationships with at-risk children in neighborhood schools. Buckner works with KIDS HOPE USA to connect and identify interested churches with schools in their area and to support them through the process of training, recruiting, screening and supervising each program.
Buckner currently supports more than 25 churches in Texas and Tennessee. For more information on how your church can become involved, contact Buckner Foundation at 214-758-8050.
