Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Bright Hopes is a nonprofit community organization organized to implement projects that stimulate improved school attendance of students

Bright Hopes is a nonprofit community organization organized to implement projects that stimulate improved school attendance of students. We work to keep youth learning so they can have choices in their future.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Bright Hopes kept youth learning by supporting them with staying connected to their school. We provided information and connections to community supportive resources and encouraged youth with incentives and motivating activities. We provided snacks to keep youth encouraged. It's hard to learn if you are hungry. When students are late for school, they miss breakfast and are often hungry. Sometimes youth just need a responsible adult to listen to them. We also provided food and food connections and we advocated for families so they can meet their basic needs of clothing, food, and shelter. We supported over 175 youth this year. We provided employment information to 14- and 15-year-old youth and provided businesses with information and guidelines for hiring youth.$12,400$18,251
