A Greater Hope

A Greater Hope runs free mentorship programming for young people ages 8 to 18 from its Henderson location at 3055 St Rose Pkwy Trail #777220, in the 89052 zip code. The organization is listed under Youth Organizations with a focus on mentorship, and it operates year round rather than on a school or seasonal calendar. For families watching their budget, the price range on this listing is Free, which puts it in a small group of no-cost options for older kids and teens in the Henderson area.

The program list goes beyond one-on-one mentoring. A Greater Hope offers youth leadership programs, educational support, life skills workshops, and health and wellness workshops. There are also community service and volunteer opportunities, which can matter for teens who need service hours or want something meaningful on a school application. Youth support groups round out the offerings, so a child can be connected to peers as well as an adult mentor. The stated age brackets are 8 to 12 and 13 to 18, which suggests programming is split between elementary and middle school kids on one side and teens on the other.

Office hours run Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and the office is closed Saturday and Sunday. Those are business hours, so plan to call or visit on a weekday to ask about enrollment. Questions can go to (833) 974-1347, and the organization maintains a page about its Nevada work at aghope.org. Services are offered in English.

A few things this listing does not answer: it does not describe how mentors are matched with kids, how long the typical mentoring relationship lasts, or whether there is a waitlist. Since the programs are free and the phone line is toll free, the practical first step is a weekday call to ask how intake works for your child's age group and which of the workshops or support groups are currently running in Henderson.
