Generation Hope

Fewer than 2% of teen mothers earn a college degree before age 30, and more than half of all parenting college students leave school without a degree. We’re committed to changing these statistics, one family and one system at a time. To ensure all student parents have the opportunities to succeed, experience economic mobility, and build wealth, Generation Hope engages education and policy partners to drive systemic change and provides direct support to teen parents in college as well as their children through holistic, two-generation programming.

Generation Hope's innovative Scholar Program provides direct support to teen parents attending college in the greater New Orleans and Washington DC areas. We help Scholars earn their degrees through wraparound support including one-on-one mentoring, tuition assistance, crisis intervention, mental health support, career readiness programming, and more.
