OVERVIEW: Boys Hope Girls Hope is an international organization centered on cultivating youth empowerment through the foundation of education and holistic support. Operating across 15 U.S. and 3 Latin American affiliates, Boys Hope Girls Hope utilizes structured programming adapted to the needs of each community, unique curriculum, and partnerships with local schools and universities. Service pathways include residential environments and community-based after school programming, and though different in format and location, all programs build on consistent core elements: academic excellence, service and community engagement, family-like settings to cultivate youth empowerment, long-term and comprehensive programming, faith-based values, and voluntary participant commitment. Boys Hope Girls Hope firmly believes that children have the power to overcome adversity, realize their potential, and help transform our world. Children create these successes when we remove obstacles, support and believe in them, and provide environments and opportunities that build on their strengths.
