Boys Hope Girls Hope serves promising, highly motivated children-in-need with alternative housing, private school tuition, college scholarships, academic support, enrichment opportunities, and the resources scholars need to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential. Boys Hope came to Arizona in 1989 with the opening of the boys’ home and our girls’ home followed in 1998. In 2003, the Arizona affiliate became the first in the nation to implement a Community-Based Program model, allowing us to serve additional children-in-need whose home lives are not so severe as to require residential placement.
