Description
Boys Hope Girls Hope ( www.bhghsocal.org ) helps children who are academically capable and show great promise--to achieve their full potential by providing them each with a value-centered, family-like home, a quality education through college and a host of ancillary services and opportunities. The success of Boys Hope Girls Hope is based upon one simple truth: children who have a stable, happy and permanent home life are much more likely to succeed in school and adulthood.
Founded in 1975, Boys Hope Girls Hope is a privately funded, non-profit organization that works to make a profound impact in the lives our determined young people. Our approach is unique and holistic providing children who have demonstrated academic potential with four critical ingredients for success: Homes, Opportunities, Parental role models, and Education. We opened our first home in Southern California for boys in 1991. Our second home, Girls Hope, followed in 1996.
