Friends of Boys Hope Girls Hope,
One of the highlights of my job is witnessing the growth of each of our scholars throughout
their time with Boys Hope Girls Hope. They truly become men and women with and for
others by the time they graduate high school. While they attend the same classes, have the
same friends and social circles, each one grows in their own unique way and leaves high
school having a strong sense of self. Every opportunity that Boys Hope Girls Hope offers
them makes them more confident in themselves and more confident in their futures.
Just as our scholars grow and develop, so too does our organization. In 2016, the Academy
program had the first class of graduates from Aurora Central High School. The 9 graduating
scholars were awarded over $430,000 in
scholarships and were accepted to 31
colleges and universities! It is our goal that
every class going forward will match or
exceed that number. And of course, more
high school graduates means more
collegians! With these 9 new graduates,
we have doubled the number of collegians
in the 2016-2017 school year.
Along with these incredible results, comes
the need for us to look forward and see how Boys Hope Girls Hope must adapt and grow
with our scholars as they become collegians. Next year, on top of raising money to fulfill all
of the college scholarships, we hope to add a collegian counselor to the BHGH staff. While
college acceptance is a critical part of our mission, our ultimate goal is to have all of our
scholars thrive in college, graduate with ease and positioned to enter the working world
with confidence.
Of course, Boys Hope Girls Hope could not provide the amazing wrap around services for
all our scholars without your help. We would not have the ability to serve more students
and families without the generous support of you - our partners, donors and volunteers.
Thank you! We look forward to a bright future!
Sincerely,
Mary Frances Tharp, Executive Director

Breaking The Cycle Of Poverty Through Education
Boys Hope Girls Hope provides a holistic poverty intervention for
young people with great need, and even greater determination. By
no fault of their own, some children are victims of desperate
circumstances— poverty, homelessness, neighborhood violence or
severe family stress. Yet, despite overwhelming odds, they
demonstrate an inspiring capacity and desire to excel, live their lives
to the fullest and set an example for others.
These are the phenomenal young people we serve. These young
people apply to be a part of our program based on their desire to
participate fully in BHGH opportunities and their capacity for our
academic and character-defining programming. All of our young
scholars want to go to college and create successful futures for
themselves. They partner with BHGH to gain access to the
academic resources, extracurricular opportunities, and mentor relationships that
can empower them to reach their goals.
BHGH utilizes an evidence-based program model. BHGH programs build upon
six consistent core elements:
Academic Excellence
Service and Community Engagement
Family-like Settings to Cultivate Youth Empowerment
Long-term and Comprehensive Programming
Faith-based Values
Voluntary Participant Commitment
Fundamental to all BHGH programs and at the heart of our work is a deep investment in
our scholars’ education, health and well-being, and a long-term commitment to them
personally. We firmly believe that our scholars, like all children, have the power to
overcome adversity, realize their potential, and help transform our world. Our role is to
help remove obstacles in their path, support and believe in them, and provide
environments and opportunities that build on their strengths.
You make that possible through your support of time, talent and treasure.
Thank You!
