Parent Information

As a parent or carer, you may have been approached by your school to consider having your child enrolled in our program. Or you may feel like your child will benefit from one-to-one mentoring.

As part of your school’s wellbeing program, the program aims to develop emotional and social resilience in children, and so enhance their capacity to learn.

Our aim is to empower Aussie kids, like your child, to thrive.

I think it’s a very crucial role that Kids Hope are playing in my kids’ lives. Because I’m of a firm belief that it takes a community to raise a child.
