Big Things Start Here
Check out our After School, Summer Camp and Mentor Connect programs.
After School
Our after-school programs are the perfect way to end a school day. Our leaders invest in one-on-one relationships with students as they have fun with their friends, and yes – even get their homework done.
Summer Camps
Our fun-filled summer camps offer memorable, action-packed experiences. Campers have a blast and grow academically, all while sparking their growing faith.
Mentor Connect
A relationship with a trusted mentor who follows Jesus can have a powerful impact on a child’s life. Our mentors walk alongside kids and families to provide tangible help and eternal hope.
Join Our Team
We believe every child matters, regardless of what they look like or where they come from.
We are devoted to supporting kids and families and helping them experience and know God’s love.
Come alongside us as we strive to make an impact in local communities. Part-time and full-time positions available.
Tangible Help. Eternal Hope.
We understand how hard it is to find safe and affordable childcare, let alone a place where you feel confident your child is growing. (And of course, having fun!) We provide real, tangible help for families while sharing the eternal hope of the gospel through genuine relationships.
Close To Home
We partner with local schools in the Greater Tyler and Greater Waco communities to offer after-school and summer camp programs close by. We are currently serving more than 20 schools and counting.
Creative Discovery
No matter what your child is into, we’ve got something they’ll love. Our leaders are great at coming up with new ways to learn and have fun every day!
Authentic Relationships
The students in our programs make real friendships with each other and their leaders. These relationships help them learn about Jesus and have a lasting impact on their lives.
Flexible Pricing
Every child should be able to join in on the fun! That’s why we offer affordable, income-based pricing for every family.
Servant-Hearted Leaders
Our leaders, volunteers and mentors care about helping kids succeed academically, spiritually and emotionally – and they love what they do.
Christ Centered
Jesus is at the center of everything we do. We build relationships on the foundation of His love and we help kids develop their own faith as they grow.
Awesome Awaits.

Mentoring Alliance helped me grow spiritually.
It helped me realize that God is always with me 24/7 at any time, and he can put a smile on my face at any time. It makes me very happy.

It makes a person feel wanted and want to do better.
To have people that are willing to help your child because they want to – not because they have to – it makes a person feel wanted and want to do better.
