This is a wonderful program serving our underserved neighbors. I am so grateful to be able to volunteer here weekly providing after school tutoring . This is such a valuable program to help this community thrive and gain skills for success.
Everything is going well the camp is fun and enjoy and the kids are always happy and they are really nice and kind
LHCC is a community -- far more than a bunch of volunteers who may or not show up. It's a caring group of families and leaders who work hard to help our Spanish-speaking neighbors improve their lives through healthy living, education and access to resources. It's fun, loving, and oh so friendly and appreciative. Milestones and holidays are celebrated, cultures are shared, and everyone is made to feel a part of something special and impactful. Both the volunteer work and fellowship have become an important part of my life.
LHCC is a very good organization that does its best to help Latino immigrants. From the first day I started volunteering, I could see that this organization really does its best to help those families that need it the most. I am very grateful to them for accepting me with open arms, and for always having that beautiful intention of helping others. LHCC has programs for both parents and children. This organization provides them with food, clothing, and tutoring for their children. I truly believe they do an amazing job helping those in need, which is why I give them a 5 star rating.
I started volunteering during Summer, and it has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. I am beyond grateful to have the opportunity to help many kids with their homework and skills, but especially their confidence and mental health. I wish to continue volunteering at this organization!
I'm blessed to volunteer by tutoring weekly at LHCC. But LHCC is much more than just tutoring students; it's about building relationships with them and their family while also providing spiritual support from a Christian perspective. For the parents of those students, who form a vital part of LHCC, semi-weekly information programs on topics such as nutrition, physical activity, public safety, and managing household finances are provided. All in all, it's a great way help serve this part of the Charlotte community and I've experienced that in many ways, I'm the one who's being served.
I started volunteering with LHCC last year and from the first meeting I felt like I was changing lives. Every member is so supportive and welcoming. It is the perfect opportunity to help out no matter your background or education, it’s about so much more than helping kids get caught up in school, it is about making connections and being a support system for these kids. I see their confidence improve everyday just from the support and compassion of the hour a week I spend with them.
I believe that being part of LHCC has brought many opportunities to my family. My daughter has made great friendships, and the blessings we receive from LHCC, such as hot meals, tutoring for our children, educational workshops for parents, and above all, feeling like family, are countless. I can't find enough words to express my gratitude.
Thank you, LHCC. ❤️
It has help me as a single mom to survive through the hardship. Thank you LHCC for supporting us for summer camps and tutoring. Thanks
This is a great organization. I like the presentations and everything that it provides for families.
Es una verdadera bendición LHCC en Charlotte , mi hija quiere asistir todas las semanas y no perderse ninguna actividad.
Es un privilegio ser parte de esta organización.

They are great help to all the Kids at Learing help center of Charlotte they are really fun and most of all really helpful
Wonderful group providing meaningful experiences for our local children and families- outdoor exploration, literacy skill-building and swimming to name a few. Groups like this help strengthen our community bonds, a growth that only provides net positivity.
I ran workshops with students from LHCC and it was a very positive experience. The students were very engaged and interested in our workshops. They were also very fun to work with. Brent and Meghan from LHCC were very supportive of our workshops, always allocating time and helping us get materials and grants.
Best camping experience my daughter has ever had. She has learned many tools to function in life and be more independent, she has played, socialized and made many friends. I would love for this camp to continue for several more weeks every summer.
I was able to provide basic mental health lessons to a group of adult students for two semesters and I was delighted with the genuine engagement and care that the LHCC staff and volunteers poured over the community members!
Entire families were feed, children were mentored and parents learned about new topics week after week.
I was able to experience “service to others” first hand, and I will not forget that.-JW
I am grateful, I have been in the LHCC program for more than 5 years, since their main objective is to love, care for and help our children with their studies. They have also mobilized to get a huge number of resources for moms. Thanks to this program. great support has been received in this time of pandemic.
My experience with LHCC has been so helpful with my daughters to be a better person and they have helped my little one academically, spiritually, and socially thank you so much for all your support and help towards my family

I volunteer at LHCCLT in Charlotte, NC. It is such a great organization that helps underserved families. I go to help the kids educationally and I end up with the blessing of getting to know the kids!! I have had the same student for 2 years and it is so rewarding to watch her blossom into this beautiful young lady.

I have been volunteering with LHCC after school homework helper for 2 years. It has been a very rewarding and eye opening experience. After 2 years, I joined the Board to help even more to serve these families and change their lives. These are the future leaders of America. Tuesdays are the highlight of my week!
My first year as a board member with LHCC has been an eye-opening glimpse into the good that committed on-the-ground leadership can accomplish, even under unprecedented circumstances. When COVID limited opportunities for in-person tutoring and volunteering, Director Brent Morris led a pivot to providing meals for families in a time of hardship. As we were able to transition back to more in-person interactions, the organization provided learning support for students still limited to the online learning model. At the same time, a vision for longer-term growth was hatched with our exciting Kinship Kitchen initiative.
Our annual summer camp was a success in keeping children engaged mentally, physically, and spiritually and I was proud to be able to contribute to that. The community that has been established by LHCC is inspiring and I've seen first hand that this is one non-profit that truly lives its values.
Impressed by their ability to serve the community and help children. What they do with parents is educate them on various topics like healthcare and the schools
This is a great program for kids and for volunteers to participate in. I like spending time helping kids build confidence reading writing, doing math and interacting with others.
A critical part of our community run by some of the best and brightest. Thank you for doing what others have not, going where others have not and changing the lives of those that might otherwise go unseen
I don't remember exactly how I found your organization - I searched online for charities that help children, specifically with education, and found yours. But in addition to reading and math, I appreciate the help with nutrition and family stabilization you provide. And I like that there is a spiritual aspect to it, as I think that is lacking in a lot of peoples' lives, which contributes to a lot of the problems we are seeing in society today!
I was invited to attend a lunch cooked by the chef in their kinship kitchen and to learn about their programs. So much to be grateful for. Thank you LHCC for working so hard to support of school children and their families
LHCC\u2019s volunteer opportunities are exceptional. Very hands-on experience. The work being done is necessary and appreciated. Impressive organization!
I like what this organization is doing to help the local community. Children are being helped by kind volunteers and staff with their schoolwork. The entire family is included in the good work that is being doing to transform our households and neighborhoods

My boy has been helped so much in August. Thank you for loving our children and for your help and food in the pandemic
I am a parent and want to say we are grateful for the help from LHCC. My child is happy to be able to be in camp and the program on Tuesday. Families are also happy for receiving the food
It has been an honor to serve on the LHCC Board for almost 2 years now, and see the difference and positive impact in the lives of these children and their families from our community volunteers! It's all about building relationships and trust and watching it grow. In 2 Timothy 1:6 NLT it says "This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you." We see this happen regularly at LHCC, and I believe these efforts will continue to grow throughout the Charlotte area over the next several years. There are exciting "involvement opportunities" coming your way!
Several things that impress me about this organization:
1. Its ability to quickly and effectively adjust its ministry to changing conditions (like Covid-19)
2. Its very low overhead: donations go to ministry, not administry
3. Its demonstrated ability to develop mutual relationships with the parents of the families it serves, as they are the key to the academic and societal success of their children

My wife and I have been serving with LHCC for over a year.
We have done Tuesday evening tutoring and helped with summer camps for the past two summers. Our most precious moments have been when we received notes of gratitude from Z and V (the two students we tutored last year) at the end of the school year. We didn't sign up expecting the affirmation, but we were overwhelmed to hear of the huge difference we had made in their lives with our minimal effort. This ministry does so much with so little. We would encourage anyone to support it financially, but more importantly, with their time as a volunteer.
I have had the pleasure of serving on the board of LHCC for 3 years now. It’s been amazing working with such committed and selfless individuals! I’m excited for the impact LHCC has made in our communities as well as the continued growth. The best thing about LHCC is it’s volunteers, kids and parents!!!
Please consider donating - every dollar truly goes to service in the community!
This organization has faithfully served those who could not provide meals for themselves throughout the summer. They were willing to go to the need! Extra special love!

It is a privilege to work with an organization that helps not only children who are displaced from their native countries, but also with their parents. So many times we've watched both child and parent rejoice in the progress their child has made during a tutoring session!
LHCC is unique in that they begin working with preK children so that they are reading ready as well as working with elementary students to help them be ready for the demands of upper grades.
I worked with B**** for 4 years now and have seen her go from 1st grader who could not read to a 5th grader who can read and comprehend not only literature, but also directions and word problems. She's become a self-starter and an encourager to other children.
LHCC is helping so many who would drop through the cracks due to language and cultural barriers. Charlotte - Mecklenburg is fortunate to have an organization that works to help parents raise responsible, competent citizens!
I have been impressed by this organizations passion for the families they help.
They have been feeding families for the past two or three months and do so with joy in ensuring everyone stays fed. Thank you
We have had the opportunity for the past few weeks of driving around and delivering meals to these precious families. It has been humbling to see the need, but also the appreciation for something we take for granted. A daily meal.
Please consider supporting this organization. If you have been a beneficiary of their incredible meals program of regular services, please give them a shout out and share a review.
Have loved volunteering at this ministry and helping the kids. There are opportunities to still help them in the evening
Las vacaciones escolares traen satisfacciones, pero tambien preocupaciones. Ese es el momento para optar por un campamento de verano LHCC ya que nos ofrecen un ambiente seguro, amigable, familiar y educativo. Deseamos que nuestros hijos se diviertan, aprendan a relacionarse, compartir actividades y sobre todo vivan nuevas experiencias. Bendiciones y gracias
I want to express my gratitude for the great support that my son, Exequiel G, has already graduated from this prestigious and well known organization for so many ways, to be a great support now and in the future. I also want to thank you for the opportunity he has had to participate as a volunteer in your organization. Its definitely an important positive impact on the lives of children and their parents
Completely agree with the volunteer. This is a valuable experience with children and their parents. Making a difference
We get to learn from interesting people who come and tell us about their programs. It is a good experience for us moms
LHCC has given me an opportunity to connect with students and families I would not have otherwise. I can feel the love and care for these children every time I am a tutor. I enjoy building relationships with the children!
it is a great opportunity to learn from each other. All of us learn something new every time we get together. A safe place to lift each other up. And a great opportunity to influence the new generations!!!!
Volunteering with LHCC has been a wonderful experience. I have seen a great improvement in my student's language and math skills and have formed a relationship with her and her family. If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity that is both challenging and rewarding, LHCC is the place for you!
LHCC is one of the most rewarding non-profits for which I have served for almost 3 years. The children come each week eager to learn and the volunteers are blessed to see them grow and reach greater heights week after week. The children and their families are a part of a christian learning environment and have a place they can find support of classroom activities as well as participate in enrichment. Come join the after-school program and see for yourself.
Our family has been blessed by the work of this group of volunteers and staff who help my children every week. I am so glad my friend told me about this program. Thanks
"It was a great experience, and the work your organization is doing is really inspiring. Daniella was super sharp and I have a feeling she's going to do pretty well when she heads back to school." Marty S December 2018
Thank-you so much for all you do for the children. I have seen the benefits of my time with Jackie. Her mom is also easy to speak to and I enjoy helping both of them.
I went to visit this past week and really enjoyed what they are doing. Children are helped by volunteers and seem to be getting the help they need. We did reading and homework. This is a worthwhile opportunity for volunteers
I have been tutoring with the LHCC after school homework helper Study Buddies South Charlotte as part of a group from Hands On Charlotte. Tuesday nights are the highlight of my week. I have not missed a session in the two years I have volunteered there.
The kids are awesome and it helps me keep my brain challenged. Have you tried doing 4th grade math lately? They are doing things we did not do until high school.
The LHCC volunteers who we work with are wonderful people. Each week is a different experience,. What separates this group from other tutoring groups is that they are also involved with the kids families trying to facilitate the parents interaction with their children's school and teachers ; and encouraging them to read with their kids every night.
We are just with them on night a week. It is our function to be a catalyst to encourage them to make reading and developing their math skills a part of their lives all week. We also encourage the kids to engage in critical thinking and to become responsible for their actions. Ultimately it is the kids themselves who have to make the effort every day to learn and grow.
I had a very good session with my student this week. She warmed up to me considerably and we were able to connect. She went from being very shy and suspicious of me last week to trusting and eager for my help. She is a very sweet child.Thanks for the opportunity to help children who are willing to learn
There is much to be gained from volunteering with LHCC. They have made the volunteer experience one where students and parents can be actively involved in the one hour of tutoring help each week. I like helping out when I feel useful, and I do. Thank-you
We began a tutoring program a few years ago for school-aged children in East Charlotte. We struggled to find enough volunteers and, as well, to fine tune the program to be as effective as we would have liked. Learning Help Centers of Charlotte stepped in and provided assistance, not only in recruiting volunteers, but in helping our volunteers to become effective tutors.
Hands On Charlotte (HOC) has partnerned with Learning Help Centers of Charlotte (LHCC). to create a fun and fulfilling experience for HOC volunteers during the past 2.5 years, in order to provide homework and reading assistance to marginalized children.
Serving the community alongside your organizations staff and volunteers has been rewarding and beneficial. Serving these students and their families allows us to fulfill our mission and become united with our local community partners in serving the holistic educational needs of the entire family.
The initiation of programs that engage the entire family has also been encouraging to observe, through services that your organization offers, with partners like the Charlotte Public Library and Mission Athletes International.
We are grateful for the study buddy partnership on the south- and east-side of Charlotte and wish you continued success.
I really like the work that Learning Help Centers of Charlotte is doing in the community. The director and volunteers are passionate about the work they do and are dedicated and committed to the cause of helping those in need. I'm encouraged by the fact that this organization serves people in Charlotte, NC because this is the area that I grew up in. I'm excited to see what the organization does next and hope more people will see how they can contribute their time and/or money to what they are trying to do.
The Learning Help Centers of Charlotte provides such a wonderful program. Not only do children from low income areas get extra help on their homework, but they also gain a mentor outside of their home that can positively influence their lives. So grateful to be a part of this organization!
I have been volunteering with LHCC for several years now. The founding family of this organization are wonderful and selfless people, that truly live in a way that embodies what it means to serve others. I was paired with a 6 year old boy that lacked confidence and struggled with reading comprehension. I have watched him grow to a much more confident and positive first grader, that is not only at or above his reading level, but excelling in math as well. While we work to serve these children each week, it is the volunteers that truly benefit from the relationship, as the children's joy is contagious. I feel blessed to be a part of this organization.
Thank you to everyone for making the holiday event so special for all the families. We had a great time and loved hanging out with the parents and enjoying the ethnic foods on offer
Thank-you LHCC for doing the community event on Saturday. My daughters enjoyed being outdoors and playing with their new friends, and I was happy to meet some mom's from the community. We love what you are doing for us families
“Thank-you for providing the opportunity for our associates to attend your morning reading program. We were very encouraged by what we saw and strongly believe that the program is exceeding everyone’s expectations. We look forward to partnering with you again in 2018”
We have been very blessed to be able to be a part of this ministry and the summer program. The volunteers are kind hearted and the children responded so well to the activities and reading interventions
I work with an organization that partners groups of Jr. High and Sr. High students with nonprofits where the students can learn and be inspired to serve those in their spheres of influence. For the past few years, we have sent one group each summer to work with LHCC. Each year, our groups are very impressed with the wholistic vision of LHCC and passion for the needy that is in all of their staff. If you are looking for an organization to support who is doing important work in Charlotte or you are looking to find a place where you can join in with the serving of immigrants in Charlotte, LHCC is the perfect fit for you!

We are grateful for our partnerships with our mission partners and thank-you for making the summer program a highlight of our curriculum for the children we serve. Our mission, vision and values can be reviewed at www.lhcclt.org
I helped out over the summer and make a connection with the leaders and children in camp. They have so much to offer children including academic and social help to become leaders, learners and active doers in their schools and homes. I would definitely want to volunteer again next year
We need more organizations like LHCC to help fulfill the mission of gospel, the church and the community to love our neighbors and serve the widow and orphan in their distress. Keep up the good work and thank-you for what you are doing each and every day to help people in need in Charlotte
I was very happy to work with Chris and would love to do more. I want to be helpful and make a difference. Thanks for including me in such a special mission!
We are so grateful for the many volunteers who help our families with homework and help us with so many things for my children. Thank-you LHCC

I have been working with Learning Help Center of Charlotte for 14 months. It is a wonderful organization that puts the spiritual, emotional and academic needs of the children and their families first. The last 2 summers I have helped in their summer camp and during the school year, I have been tutoring a third (now fourth) grader. I have a terrific relationship with my third grader and it has been wonderful to see her not only grasp new concepts but also begin to flourish doing them. Her mother is very involved and after each tutoring session, I explain to her what she needs to work on to help her daughter succeed. It is a blessing to see the mom's earnest desire to have her daughter excel and it is the family's hope that this will be the first person EVER in their family to go to college.
Our group came to help students over the summer with reading and we loved it! Your children are so sweet and we loved getting to know them. Thanks for doing for them what you are doing to help with their reading. Sincerely MC
So pleased to be serving this community and seeing the tremendous impact being made in the community, thanks to our volunteers!
" I would like to thank all the volunteers and leaders for their hard work at the camp. My daughter enjoyed the camp very much. Thank you for giving the families the opportunity to do summer activities. Truly blessed to have this organization. Thank you!!!"
