HOPE ON THE HILL
The most loving thing we can do for our students is prepare them academically. So, each year, one hundred 1st through 12th grade students participate in our after school program. Upon joining our program, many of the students we see are at least 2 grade levels behind in math and reading. The difficult task we face is attempting to help our students succeed in their current courses while helping them move towards grade level in these areas.
To accomplish this our time with students focuses academically on math and reading remediation and homework help. Discipline and goal setting, along with parent/teacher meetings and weekly bible studies give our students the well-rounded exposure they need to succeed.

ACTIVITIES
Reading | Math | Homework | Art | Basketball | Bible Study | Mentoring | + More…
In addition to the academic aspects of the program, we also spend time each tutoring day to play with the kids. Pick-up games of basketball are great for blowing off some post-spelling test steam! Weekly Bible studies are just one part of the mentoring aspect of the tutoring program.
• Students in 1st through 12th Grades
• We communicate with parents and families AND with teachers and schools
• Staff, Volunteers and Agents of Hope work one-on-one or in small groups
• We tutor and mentor the kids, developing relationships that begin with homework, stories about school, and more!
• We encourage personal responsibility and HFO students are also responsible for cleaning up homework supplies, art projects, footballs, and any games.
• There are snacks for the kids when they arrive, and at the end of each week..
• This after-school program represents the inception of HFO, and where much of the vibrancy still comes from!

READING BUDDIES PROGRAM
Our Reading Buddies initiative pairs students with caring volunteer mentors who embark on literary adventures together. Through this program, we aim to not only improve reading skills but also build meaningful relationships and provide a safe, nurturing space where children can explore the magic of books. Join us in this journey as we open new chapters in the lives of our students!
SUMMER TUTORING
Summer Program at HFO is whirlwind of learning and fun! In the morning we focus on reading and math, while afternoons were filled with pool adventures, field trips, and recreation. From working in our garden to exciting excursions and enriching Bible studies, there is not time for the lazy days of summer! Our oldest kids are inspired by a retreat and getaway at 3 Mile Lake. As always local field trips were a hit, and we end our summer program with a special celebration. Summer is a fast and furious 7-week adventure but it’s one that we can’t ever miss!
Summer programming is available to our HFO enrolled tutoring students only. To sign up click here.
