The Need

Young people, especially those from underrepresented communities, face financial hardship, family stressors, parent/guardian illness, neighborhood violence, or an underperforming school—significant barriers to realizing their potential.

Our Approach

We’re with our scholars and their families for the long-term—middle school through career launch. Through Residential and Academy settings, we equip them with life preparedness, empowered learning, personal development, leadership & service, and college & career readiness.

The HOPE You Provide

From California to New York, and Detroit to Guatemala, your gift is an investment in our programming, scholarships, and career pathways that directly and deeply benefit young people who have tremendous ability and just need the opportunity.

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

"I am currently in my third year of university, studying Law and Social Sciences at the Da Vinci University in Guatemala. I think university is a very complex process, especially when combined with work, but I am very happy with the experience and the knowledge I am acquiring. I am completely grateful to God and to Esperanza Juvenil for supporting me every step of the way, not leaving me alone, and always looking for ways to push me forward."
