Kids at Hope
Mission
Kids at Hope inspires, empowers, and transforms schools and organizations serving youth and entire communities to create an environment and culture where all children experience success. We believe all children are capable of success, NO EXCEPTIONS!
OUR COMMUNITY, OUR CHILDREN
What is Kids at Hope?
Kids at Hope is not just another program. It’s first and foremost a belief system supported by a cultural strategy which is then enhanced by existing programs. Kids at Hope is an innovative concept which states, and evidence shows, that all children are capable of success, NO EXCEPTIONS!
Kids at Hope provides tools to schools, organizations and entire communities to support the success of all children, NO EXCEPTIONS.
Kids at Hope is based on three universal truths:
- We believe that all children are capable of success, NO EXCEPTIONS.
- We connect with all children in a meaningful, sustainable way through relationships called Aces.
- We time travel by teaching children to mentally time travel to their future in four destinations (areas) of life: Home & Family, Hobbies & Recreation, Community & Service, Education & Career.
Washington Community Schools is proud to be a Kids at Hope School District. Our schools are committed to being a place where caring adults have high expectations for students, provide opportunities to succeed, celebrate success, and believe in children.
Play Partners
Play Partners are caring adults who visit students monthly during recess to provide children the opportunity to participate in healthy and appropriate conversations with a caring adult.
