● HOPEKIDZ AFTERSCHOOL CLUBS
Building Strong Faith and Character in the Next Generation
HOPEKIDZ is a Christian-based afterschool program focused on helping children grow in their love for Jesus while developing strong character traits like integrity, humility, kindness, and hope—qualities they need to thrive in today’s world.
Held in several North Shore schools, the program uses Bible-based curriculum to teach children about God, salvation through Jesus, and prayer, with a focus on discipleship and spiritual growth.
Children experience:
• Exciting Bible Stories
• Praise & Worship
• Literacy Enhancement
• Friendly Game Competition
• Afternoon Snacks
• Lots of Fun!
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers with a personal relationship with Jesus are welcome! Little to no training is needed. Most support is needed during the literacy and prayer time. The program runs weekly from October–June, after school from 3:00–4:30 PM (times may vary by school), and volunteers can serve as their schedule allows.
HOPEKIDZ: Raising a Generation of Christ-Centered Leaders
HOPEKIDZ isn’t just an afterschool program—it’s a sacred space where nearly 100 children each week, across five North Shore schools, are discovering the truth of who they are in Christ. In a world that tells kids to fit in, HOPEKIDZ teaches them to stand out—with faith, character, and purpose.
Our Bible-based curriculum nurtures their love for Jesus while planting seeds of integrity, humility, kindness, and hope—the kind of values that grow world-changers. Children learn how to pray, how to lead, and most importantly, how deeply they are loved by God.
The impact is real.
According to Barna Group, children form their core moral and spiritual foundations by age 13. Another study shows that youth involved in faith-based mentorship programs are 45% more likely to graduate high school, and 63% less likely to engage in risky behaviors. Faith isn’t just a belief system—it’s a blueprint for success.
We’ve seen it firsthand.
Like Jayden, a shy 3rd grader who used to sit in silence. Week after week, he learned Bible verses and watched other kids pray. One day, he raised his hand and volunteered to pray in front of the group. “Jesus helped me be brave,” he said with a smile. His confidence has soared ever since.
Or Amira, who struggled with anger and isolation after her parents divorced. At HOPEKIDZ, she found friendship, support, and a renewed sense of peace. Her mentor introduced her to Philippians 4:7—and now she shares that verse with others. She's not just healing—she’s helping others heal too.
This is discipleship in action. This is leadership in motion.
HOPEKIDZ is more than a program. It’s a movement of faith, a foundation of love, and a launchpad for purpose. We’re not just helping kids know about Jesus—we’re helping them follow Him, love like Him, and lead like Him.
Because when a child knows Jesus, everything changes. And when a generation is raised with faith at its core, a city is transformed.
Let’s keep building—one child, one heart, one future at a time.
