Boys Hope Girls Hope of New York is a non-profit residential scholarship program that helps academically capable and motivated children-in-need reach their full potential. The children who join our program have the promise and drive to succeed, but typically do not come from home environments that are conducive to ensuring their success. Once children come to us, we meet all of their developmental needs by providing them with a structured, family-like home, parenting, and a quality education from middle school through college. 100% of the youth who complete our program go on to college, and we continue thereafter to provide our young collegians with guidance and support.
