LOCAL IMPACT

In our unique residential program, scholars become a part of our community and, for 5 days a week, live in our dorm-style residence halls. They are surrounded by a community of role-model staff and volunteers that work to provide enrichment and support. Through many different avenues, our program is constantly enriched by the outside support of our volunteers and partners in the surrounding area.

See how Boys Hope Girls Hope is prioritizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
