Mentoring

Students with a mentor

are less likely to skip school

Public School Outreach

Our Public School Outreach program offers school-based mentoring for public school students. Caring adults consistently meet with students one hour a week to develop meaningful relationships and promote character growth, socio-emotional development, and academic achievement.

Our mentors receive training on developmental relationships and trauma-informed care. Using a character-based curriculum, our mentors engage with students to work preventatively and avoid future high-risk behavior.

Our mentees are identified by school staff, and they each have the opportunity to understand and commit to our program. All students receive parent permission to engage in their mentees.

Our program partners with churches and public schools to provide students with caring, committed relationships across Kentucky and Indiana. We are currently mentoring in Jefferson County, Oldham County, Hardin County, Floyd County, Henry County, Larue County, and Greater Clark County.

“We need that partner, and Hope Collaborative is fantastic at this; who is consistent, who communicates, and who brings love to these kids.”

Michelle Dyer Principal of River Valley Middle School

“Our son needed a mentor, he needed a friend, he needed an adult who could help him navigate some of these really big problems who also cared about him on a one-on-one level.  I am so grateful that his mentor was a source of stability during that difficult time.”

Lauren, Mother of a Student

“At a young age, Cody lost his dad. His attitude and outlook were dark. He has been with his mentor for 2 years, and the turnaround has been impactful.”
