Make a difference in the lives of local at-risk kids

We are so encouraged about this opportunity to partner with Mission Lutheran Church. Your contribution has the potential to enable 120 at-risk, low-income, youth from Kindergarten through 12th grade to take part in our spiritual development and enrichment programs each year for three years. Programs include summertime VBS, year-round youth group, Teen Leadership Academy, and a new program called Community Changers, where youth learn to give back by doing hands-on service projects in their local community. The designated contributions from MLC would fund our spiritual development programs for 120 children from grades K-12 each year for three years.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED For ways to get involved, we would ask MLC to consider joining hands with us as follows:

Mentoring: Mentor a teen boy or girl and change his/her life. Mentors meet with their mentees at least twice a month for one year. We have a waiting list of students who would love the chance to connect with an adult that can help them navigate their teenage years, and who desperately need positive role models in their lives.

Tutoring Tutors are the lifeblood of KidWorks’ daily programs. Because we value building trust and relationships, tutors volunteer at least 1 1/2 hours a week, for a minimum of one semester. You will help a group of three students with their homework. More importantly, you will build relationships and be a positive, Christian influence for at-risk children.
