Yellowstone Hopes For...

Shepherd A Child


Students at Yellowstone Academy will receive a first class education, but we also want them to learn responsibility, character, and self-reliance. One of the best ways to make this happen is for a mentor or shepherd to invest time, guidance, and love in a child.
 
The Shepherd-A-Child Program is administered in cooperation with Houston churches. You must be an active member of a local Christian church in order to be a shepherd. Our goal is for each child at Yellowstone Academy to be matched with an individual or family who will connect with that child in a positive way and play a role in educational and social enrichment.
 

Shepherds will commit to meeting with their child at least once a month during the school year. The visit may entail something as simple as going out for a meal or to the park, or may include a trip to the museum, a sporting event, or one's place of business. The goal is to show our children a larger slice of the world they live in.

  

Shepherds help introduce Yellowstone kids

to the larger world around them.
