Vision
The Vision for the Bridge by H.O.P.E Foundation is to guide students on their pathways to being college ready academically and socially. According to the U.S. Census and American College Testing Program, an estimated 18 million students enrolled in college in 2008; nearly 34% dropped out in the first year because they were over confident, under prepared and lacked realistic expectations about college. The Bridge by H.O.P.E Program will not only prepare students for their future, but will give them all the tools necessary to get through their first year in college and beyond by showing them the following:
- Leadership Development
- College Success
- Career Discovery
- Financial Literacy
- Self-Awareness
Designed to socially and academically prepare High School students for that next big step after High School, our ultimate goal is to help others through positive education by bridging the gap between our students' dreams and their realities. Whatever the path our students are lead to pursue, we hope to equip both students and parents with all of the tools necessary to do well with the changes that come with college. We plan to both change the conversation about college readiness and the curriculum in which college and career readiness is presented.
