How do children come to Boys Hope Girls Hope?
Boys Hope Girls Hope maintains a network of relationships with parents, educators, clergy, social workers and other childcare professionals who recommend children to the program. After being evaluated to determine whether Boys Hope Girls Hope would be the right program to meet a child's needs, he or she joins the program.
Why would a parent put a child into Boys Hope Girls Hope?
Financial deprivation, a parent's death or incapacitation, serious disruptions in the child's home life, and a multitude of other factors can all force a loving parent to realize that he or she cannot provide everything that the child needs to become a successful adult. The family-like atmosphere of the Boys Hope Girls Hope homes, the program's strong record of success, its emphasis on the development of the whole person, and its expectation that the parent(s) will remain a central and committed part of the child's life and upbringing, can make the transition from troubled home to stable and supportive environment not only a necessary process, but a positive one.
What kind of children are in the Boys Hope Girls Hope program?
Boys Hope Girls Hope is deeply committed to diversity, and the scholars who come to us reflect that commitment. Boys Hope Girls Hope scholars come from a wide range of ethnic, religious and socioeconomic groups.
In addition, they are children who can meet the high standards, academic and personal, of Boys Hope Girls Hope. They are drug and alcohol free, free of serious emotional or behavioral problems or learning disabilities, and are academically capable and motivated. They are children who, under the right circumstances, can succeed. At Boys Hope Girls Hope, they are encouraged—and expected—to do so.

Does Boys Hope Girls Hope work with other organizations?
Partnership is one of the distinguishing features of Boys Hope Girls Hope. We begin by partnering with scholars' parents, and we extend this model to our cooperation with a variety of different organizations, including schools, universities and other agencies to meet our scholars' needs.
One of our most exciting and rewarding partnerships is with the federal AmeriCorps program, which sponsors recent college graduates for a year of volunteer service. As members of the Academic Success Corps, they provide academic support to scholars; as Community Resource Coordinators, they build relationships with other organizations in the cities where Boys Hope Girls Hope affiliates are located.

In 2005, Boys Hope Girls Hope began a multi-year effort to help the Nativity Miguel Network develop the infrastructure necessary to ensure college access and success for their students. The Network is an association of 64 independent middle schools that provide opportunities for motivated but disadvantaged children to achieve academic success, gain admittance to strong high schools, and continue their education through college. This partnership strengthens our own core college program while extending services to a greater number of deserving children.
Where do Boys Hope Girls Hope scholars go to school?
Scholars are carefully matched to the school that can best meet their intellectual, social and emotional needs. Boys Hope Girls Hope scholars study in both public and private schools, either parochial or secular.
After graduating from high school, alumni are expected to continue their studies at the college level, and while doing so, remain very much part of the program and continue to receive aid—financial, emotional and academic—from Boys Hope Girls Hope.
Is the program limited to children living in the homes?
No. Some affiliates operate outreach programs available to children who continue to live with their natural families.
