What Our Volunteers Say

Volunteering with Los Angeles Hope for Kids has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Seeing the positive impact I can make in a child's life, just by being there to guide and support them, is incredible. The kids are full of potential, and it’s amazing to be a part of their journey to success.

Lorraine Franklin

I’ve always wanted to give back to my community, and Los Angeles Hope for Kids gave me the perfect opportunity. The organization is so well-structured, and the staff are incredibly supportive. Watching the kids grow academically and personally has been truly inspiring. I can’t imagine not being a part of this amazing group

Brett Lewis

Being a mentor has not only changed the lives of the children I work with but has also profoundly impacted me. The bonds I’ve formed with my mentees and the joy of seeing their progress is beyond fulfilling. Los Angeles Hope for Kids creates such a strong community of support for both the kids and volunteers, and I’m so grateful to be involved.
