Hope Project
The Hope Project is a partnership between the River Church and Maple Street Magnet School for the Arts. This project is supported by Communities in Schools of Kalamazoo and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kalamazoo. Our primary aim is to build relationships with Maple Street students, families, teachers, staff, and administrators. Through this project we would like to assist in removing the barriers that impede academic and social success for students through tutoring, mentoring, and other academic support programs.
If you’d like to get involved with the Hope Project, email hplt@theriver.info.
