Want to make a difference in the life of a young family and help break the cycle of poverty? Generation Hope is an organization that helps D.C.-area teen parents become college graduates by providing them with one-on-one mentoring, tuition assistance, and case management support. Since D.C. has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation and less than 2% of teen mothers earn college degrees by age 30, the need is great. Generation Hope is currently recruiting Sponsors (mentors) for its incoming class! Sponsors provide one-on-one mentoring support to a teen parent throughout their college career and also provide a contribution towards their student's tuition ($1,200/year if the student is attending a 2-year college or $2,400/year if the student is attending a 4-year college). More information about becoming a Sponsor is available here, and the Sponsor application is online here. The deadline to apply to become a Sponsor for a student in our incoming class is June 1st. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Generation Hope Director of Programming Caroline Griswold Short at caroline@supportgenerationhope.org 0or 202-642-5649. Thank you for considering this opportunity to change the trajectory for a young family!
