Volunteers with Trinity United Methodist Church in Plymouth are giving of their time to help mentor local elementary school children. The Kids Hope USA program pairs churches with local schools with the goal of meeting the emotional, social, and academic needs of children.
Locally, mentors from Trinity United Methodist Church are working with kids at Webster Elementary School. Local coordinator Amy Land says 13 students are currently paired with a mentor, but there is always a need for more volunteers.
Church officials say mentors give an hour of their time each week as well as a lot of love to kids who “need loving, caring adults in their lives.” All volunteers receive training and go through a thorough background check.
