About Generation Hope: Generation Hope is the only community-based nonprofit organization in the DMV region focused on college completion and early childhood success for two populations that are dismissed regarding their potential and dreams for the future: teen parents and their children. Founded in 2010, Generation Hope selects teen mothers and teen fathers who have displayed academic achievement and a desire to go to college to become Scholars in the Generation Hope Scholar Program.  Once accepted, Generation Hope provides each Scholar with three supports 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. Our tutors are a critical piece of this support, as they help make it possible for our Scholars to thrive in higher education.

Generation Hope serves 91 teen parents and their children in the Washington, D.C. area. Among them, 51% are Hispanic/Latino, 34% are African American. Nearly all are considered low income, and Generation Hope is also proud to serve several Dreamers.

In light of COVID-19, many Scholars are facing additional financial strain and have expressed a need for additional support. Generation Hope’s Emergency Fund exists to ensure that Scholars are not forced to drop out of college when facing critical financial need. These critical needs are only amplified by the COVID-19 crisis, and we would be so grateful for your support so that we can meet as many of them as possible. When you give to Generation Hope, you partner with us in decreasing poverty, investing in education, and making a long-lasting impact on families. Your gift will change the life of a Generation Hope Scholar and their child.
