Thank you for making 2024 a tremendous year for school and church partnerships!  

“Because the school trusts U4H, we get honest answers about the most pressing needs. The church then can focus our attention not on what WE want to do but how we have been INVITED to show up. Our partnership has helped us listen better and humbly love and serve the people of Freedom Middle School. We are just getting started, but I am so honored to be trusted by the schools and able to help my church love the students, staff and families well.” – Reverend Carlisle Jones, Franklin First United Methodist Church 

“My time tutoring has been so gratifying.  I work with a second grader who loves to listen to stories (especially about dragons!) but reading them – not so much. Her growth in reading skills due to the work of her teachers is a joy to watch and I am thrilled to be a small part of it. It is my goal for Holy Trinity to continue working with Harpeth Valley Elementary School and United4Hope next year!” – June Keel, coordinator at Holy Trinity Church
