A Record-Breaking Number of New Campers

May 15, 2023

We are so excited to share that we are on track for a record-breaking number of first-time campers at Camp Hope 2023! We’ve received applications from twice as many new families as in previous years.

We are so excited to welcome these families into our programs. We aim for a one-to-one ratio of campers to volunteers, and so we are seeking Christ-centered volunteers to come and serve at camp.

We have full-week and single-day roles available and would love to share more!

Corelle’s Story

April 3, 2023

We recently had the opportunity to hear from Corelle Hill, one of our Kidz2Leaders program Alumni! She shared about recent accomplishment of graduating from Georgia State University with her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management, the impact of Kidz2Leaders in her life, and her hopes for the future. We’re excited to share her story with you in her own words… 

 

“I’m very close with my family. When I was a child, my dad was incarcerated. My mom did her best to take care of us. She showed me what it means to keep going with hard circumstances. I remember one day she told us we were going to camp! My dad had heard about Camp Hope and signed us up. Once we entered the program, it was life changing. We had a lot of support.

After I completed the camp leadership program, I went on to be a part of Kidz2Leaders’ Interns4Tomorrow program. That was the start of my professional journey. It gave me real-world work experience and impacted my outlook on life. That was also when I met my business coach, Melissa Davis.

I’ve always been very driven in school. My parents instilled great values in me, and I’ve always known striving to do your best was important. But the decision to go to college was confusing in some ways. As a first-generation college student, I didn’t know what to look for on school tours or what to major in. Melissa Davis was there for me from the beginning. She got me my first laptop. She also suggested that I major in business management.

I learned so much from my program! Getting my degree was an accomplishment, and I’m glad to know I’ll be able to support my younger siblings as they pursue their education. As I look to the future, I hope to establish my career within a reputable company with a great work environment. I want somewhere I can grow and develop professionally and make connections. I’m definitely interested in furthering my education one day. And I hope to be a role model for someone coming behind me, just like the people who impacted me when I was young.

I’m so thankful to have had Kidz2Leaders in my life. If the mission of this organization resonates with you, I would encourage you to get involved, to donate, and to pass the message along! We all need a community to lean on—that’s what this organization has been for me, and I believe it will impact your life too.”

We are so proud of Corelle, both in her accomplishments and her character. It’s been a privilege to be part of her story and we continue to cheer her on in her next steps in life as part of the K2L alumni community!

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!
