Who We Are
Generations of Hope is a group-based mentorship program that inspires local middle school students and York College college students to serve as leaders, mentors, and changemakers in their communities.
What We Do
On select Wednesday's, middle-school GOH students from Jackson K-8 and McKinley K-8 visit the York College campus for an afternoon of exciting activities, engaging guest speakers, group mentorship opportunities, homework help, field trips, and dinner in YCP's dining hall! These activities are led by York College student leaders, and the GOH program is coordinated by the Center for Community Engagement and Spartan Volunteer Network.
The central goal of Generations of Hope is to increase the rate of York City students who experience success in their K-12 educational experience and who consider post-secondary education opportunities. The GOH program focuses on the following learning areas:
- Life skills
- Peer mentorship & leadership
- Community engagement & civic responsibility
- Equity & inclusion
- Career exploration
- Post-secondary education opportunities
- Academic success
We also base our sessions by four pillars:
- Care for Self
- Care for Others
- Care for Future
- Care for Community
