| "Children are our future leaders. We must teach them the right way to go." |
Youth Hope & Inspiration Inc.
"Where desire meets opportunity."
Youth Hope & Inspiration Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization based
on Christian principles that encourages a joint, community-led effort
to reduce high school dropout rates, non-promotions, expulsions,
suspensions, disciplinary offenses, teen pregnancies, suicides,
homicides, felonies, drug/alcohol abuse and obesity. It is our belief
that opportunities and positive reinforcements is the key to saving
our youth from becoming victims of these high risk behaviors. We
realize that children are our future leaders, and we must work
together to teach them to make better choices and to explore,
discover, and learn.

Youth Hope & Inspiration Inc. was founded by two sisters who grew
up in a family that had limited resources. Although their parents
encouraged them to explore their interest, they were not able to
participate in some of the extracurricular activities of their choice. As
adults, they realize that children desperately need an opportunity to
explore their interest and talents, but they know that financial
situations can make it difficult. Driven by their passion to empower
the youth, they began using their own money to sponsor children. It
is their hope that the community will join them in their mission and in
making their vision become a reality.
Vision
Our vision is to ensure all youth have an equal opportunity to
participate in extracurricular activities, programs, and field trips of
their choice.
Mission
To encourage the community to work together to provide youth, of
disadvantaged and/or low-income families, enriching experiences for
healthy development.
Board of Directors
Youth Hope & Inspiration Inc.'s Board of Directors also realize the
importance of working together to help the youth reach their full
potential. They display their commitment by planning, promoting and
participating in events and by using their own money to sponsor
youth to participate in extracurricular activities.
