Kids Hope USA Team

The team at Kids Hope USA is dedicated to connecting and equipping church partners to cultivate meaningful relationships with students who deserve caring and consistent adults in their lives to help them thrive.  

The National Support team supports all departments in providing strategic direction, background support, and additional resources to help the organization–and all those involved–thrive.

The Partnership Growth team is responsible for developing and cultivating relationships with churches, organizations, and schools in an effort to establish more Kids Hope USA partnerships.
