Founded in 2010, Generation Hope selects teen parents who have displayed academic achievement and a desire to go to college to become Scholars in the Generation Hope Scholar Program. Teen parents are often dismissed by school officials and others when it comes to their potential to pursue higher education. Generation Hope presents college-readiness workshops in the community throughout the year to identify and recruit promising students to our program. Once accepted, Generation Hope provides each Scholar with support that we believe increase the likelihood that they will obtain their college degree; up to $2,400 per year in tuition assistance, one-on-one mentoring, and case management. Additionally, Scholars receive an increased network of support from the extended family that the program provides to them and to their young children. This support stays with Scholars until they earn their two or four-year degree.
Generation Hope currently serves 65 teen parents in college and more than 200 expecting or parenting high school students annually through college-readiness workshops. In July 2015, Generation Hope began a significant three-year growth plan, doubling from 33 to 65 Scholars with a goal of serving 100 parenting college students by 2018.
