Kids Hope Australia

School Information

Kids Hope has been impacting the lives of children in Australian primary schools since 2004. We are the largest early intervention mentoring program in the country.

Our model is simple – one child, one mentor, one hour a week. The results are remarkable – emotional and social development needs are met and learning capacity enhanced.

The evidence-based and high-impact model is easy to deliver, and best of all, free to all primary schools.

I have not come across a mentoring program in all the schools in which I have been Principal that comes anywhere near the efficiency and professional outreach of Kids Hope. Thank you from the entire school community for your HUGE impact on our whole structure.
