Currently, less than 2% of women who have a child by age 18 receive a college degree by age 30. This statistic is dismal, but you can help change it by Sponsoring a Generation Hope Scholar! Generation Hope Sponsors work one-on-one with a teen parent attending college in the DC metro region to help increase the likelihood that they will successfully graduate college, providing both mentoring support and tuition assistance.
Want to learn more about this unique direct-giving opportunity? Come to our Sponsor Open House on April 30th at 6:30! The Sponsor Open House is designed to give individuals, businesses, and organizations who are interested in becoming Sponsors more information about the application process, what to expect, and other details. You'll get to meet and hear from current Sponsors, current Scholars, and the Generation Hope staff. The Sponsor Open House will be held at Reingold, Inc. in Alexandria. You can register for the event and find all the details here.
Generation Hope is an innovative non-profit that supports teen parents who are attending college in the Washington, D.C. metro region by providing them with tuition assistance and one-on-one mentoring support. Currently, we are supporting 21 young parents as well as providing college-readiness information to over 170 high school students annually.
