KidREACH at Maple Valley Church has just wrapped up another year of reaching out and sharing God’s love through the vehicle of academic mentoring. On Thursday afternoons, KidREACH mentors gathered with elementary school kids from our neighborhood who face academic or economic challenges. They made a sustained commitment to 13 children — to believe in them, listen to them, and encourage them to reach for more. This year, 18 amazing volunteer mentors and substitute mentors delivered 265 one to one sessions focused on practicing skills, building confidence, and having fun! Every session was a seed planted, a moment invested, a reminder to each child that they matter and that MVC is cheering them on!
