Our Interns4Tomorrow program is reaching new heights!

January 4, 2023

Our 2022—2023 Interns4Tomorrow program launched this past November! We are thrilled to share that we have nineteen interns this year, more than ever before. Each intern has been paired with a business coach for mentoring and will go through a year of professional development training leading up to this summer, when when they’ll receive a professional wardrobe and a three-week paid internship with a local business.

We’re so excited for our interns to embark on this year of growth and development and we have two ways you can help:

  1. We are in need of meals once a month for our interns and business coaches (40 people in total). Would you or your community be willing to sponsor a meal?
  2. We’re looking for local business partners to host our interns. If you and your company are interested in learning more, please reach out to us at info@kidz2leaders.org! We’d love to explore the possibility with you.

As always, your prayers for our program participants are deeply appreciated. For our interns, please be praying that:

  • the program would be a blessing to them and their families.
  • this year-long experience would bring growth, clarity, and long-term impact.
  • the relationships between coaches and interns would be transformative and meaningful.
  • the interns will have the endurance to stay full engaged and finish strong!

All campers who participated in Camp Hope 2022 are invited to attend with their families. Brunch will be served, and personalized gifts will be prepared for each child.

Information for Families

We would love to provide gifts for your family! Please fill out a registration form (link coming soon!) for each child under the age of 18 in your household. Every child will receive two gifts—one that they want, and one that they need—each valued at around $25.
All wishlists must be submitted by October 20th, to ensure our volunteers have the time to shop!

You will receive an email with your assigned Hope4Christmas session time. Participation in the full event is required with your registration, and gifts will be distributed as part of the program.

Information for Volunteers

There are a variety of ways to serve with Hope4Christmas. Descriptions of each role are given below. This is one of our most popular events, so please sign up early to reserve your spot.

  • Volunteer to wrap gifts: Time slots will be available, December 12th–16th, at The Church of The Apostles.

Additional communication will be sent out to each volunteer group as the event approaches.

Interns4Tomorrow are off to a great start!

June 14, 2021

All interns kicked off the 2021 summer with a final day of preparation at Jackson Healthcare, where they practiced their “elevator pitch”, participated in a series of mock interviews with JHC professionals and sat for their professional head shots.

Everyone reported to work on Monday, June 7, to begin their three-week internships.  We are grateful to Jackson Healthcare for hosting us for the day of final preparation.  Thanks to our four business partners who have graciously welcomed interns this summer – Jackson Healthcare, CIO Partners, Marietta Center for Advanced Academics and Refuge Church.

Have you heard about Mentors4Hope? It’s a ment Have you heard about Mentors4Hope? 

It’s a mentorship program offered through Kidz2Leaders Family Support!

It’s been proven that mentoring relationships are a key part of a healthy supportive community, and help kids build resilience and other life skills! 

Recently, two of our mentors had the opportunity to take their mentees to a Hawks game! Dan has been mentoring since 2004 and says, “I’ve always loved working with kids, even before I had kids of my own. Mentoring has really driven home for me that it brings more joy to give than to receive.”

If you are a K2L family and would like your child to be paired with a mentor, OR if you would like to learn more about becoming a mentor, reach out to Lana, our Student Support Manager, at Lana.Trull@kidz2leaders.org.

Relationship is one of the defining characteristics of our programs, and we enjoyed such a wonderful time of connection of with our K2L families. We heard exclamations of: "It's you!" "You're here!" and "I missed you!" as campers saw their counselors and friends reconnected. Getting to be together was truly a gift!
