What We Do
Welcome to Generation Hope, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing poverty one family at a time by providing direct sponsorship and support to teen parents who are attending college.
The Generation Hope Scholar Program
This one-of-a-kind program matches teen parents (Scholars) who are attending college in the Washington, D.C. Metro area with individuals, organizations, and local businesses (Sponsors) to participate in a mentoring relationship that includes emotional and financial support. This is a multi-year commitment, lasting until the Scholar receives their college degree.
We believe education is the best promise for teen parents to achieve stable and successful futures and consistent financial and emotional support increases the likelihood that they will graduate. When teen mothers and fathers earn college degrees, their children are less likely to live in poverty, and our communities are strengthened.
