BOYS HOPE GIRLS HOPE

Programming (12 U.S. Affiliates). BHGH helps young people leverage their strengths and reach their potential through year-round, out-of-school time programming that addresses academic achievement, physical and mental health, career launch, and service to the community. This long-term relationship spans from middle school to college and career launch. We also provide a safe, stable environment for those who benefit from the full-time structure and necessities provided by our residential programs. We connect our scholars to mentors, internships, and other academic and professional development support during college, along with a lifelong community of alumni who support their continued success. BHGH Network Headquarters supports our 12 U.S. and 2 Latin American affiliates by facilitating joint programming for young people, providing scholarship funding for collegians, and offering comprehensive services across strategy, program design, knowledge building, training, performance management, accounting, technology, and human resources. Our scholars face real challenges-poverty, underperforming schools, neighborhood violence-but they also bring grit, resilience, and big dreams. Despite the obstacles, 100% of our scholars graduate high school, and 64% of our collegians earn a bachelor's degree within six years (triple the national average for low-income first-generation students as noted by the Pell Institute)

International Assistance. Our two Latin American affiliates serve populations of great need, with 100% of these scholars living in extreme poverty. Esperanza Juvenil, our affiliate in Guatemala, operates 6 homes for girls, 4 homes for boys, and their own school certified by the Guatemalan Ministry of Education, serving youth from third grade through high school from age 9 into their 20s. Ser y Crecer, our affiliate in Mexico, operates 4 homes for collegians, and an afterschool Academy. In these programs, young people grow up in environments where they feel safe and known as they develop nurturing and positive relationships with their peers and caring adults.
