Boys Hope Girls Hope helps academically capable and motivated children-in-need meet their full potential and become men and women for others by providing value centered, family-like homes, opportunities and education through college.

It is a privately funded, non-profit, multi-denominational organization that provides at-risk children with a stable home, positive parenting, high quality education, and the support needed to reach their full potential. We use a holistic approach to provide them with necessary education and life skills to be productive members of the community.

Many of the children come from home environments marked by drug abuse, poverty or neglect, while others come from caring families unable to meet the child’s needs. Boys Hope Girls Hope works to positively impact the community through participation in community service days each month, as well as asking scholars to become involved with a non-profit of their choice. Typically, each scholar completes about 100 hours of community service annually, spending time helping such entities as the Maryland Food Bank, Johns Hopkins’ Children’s House, Food for Thought, Student Sharing Coalition and East Rosemont Neighborhood Association.

Boys Hope Girls Hope of Baltimore began accepting scholars in 2002 and opened a home for six boys in May 2002. Four scholars have successfully graduated from high school and have completed their sophomore year of college. On June 6th, the 5th senior graduated from Loyola Blakefield High School. He will be attending Frostburg State University in the Fall. The organization acquired land to construct a home to serve Baltimore girls, but economic conditions prevented Boys Hope Girls Hope from moving forward with construction of a new home.
