CURRENT EVENTS
At Esperanza Juvenil, we are committed to empowering first-generation students, helping them overcome barriers and achieve their academic and professional goals. This year has been truly inspiring, and we are proud to present the “Heroes of Hope” Campaign, designed to support the university transition of 15 talented students who are completing their high school education.
The “Heroes of Hope” Campaign aims to raise $20,000 to ensure that these young individuals can access higher education, turning their dreams into reality and transforming their lives through academic and professional opportunities.
This initiative is made possible thanks to our Champions, key ambassadors who drive our mission to make university access a reality for these 15 students. They will be the first in their families to achieve this milestone, breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a positive impact in their communities.
ANNUAL EVENTS
Contribute to our cause by participating in our fundraising events, which aim to provide educational scholarships for elementary and high school students, as well as support first-generation college students in their pursuit of higher education.
Golf Tournament
Our annual golf tournament supports our students and is made possible by the participation of sponsors and players committed to our cause. This event is our organization’s largest fundraising event, and the funds raised are crucial for providing our young people with a comprehensive and high-quality education.
Walk to Hope
It’s a challenge filled with hope, fun, and competition for the entire BHGH network. It’s a 30-day challenge where you can participate in any sport (running, walking, biking, etc.) in your home, neighborhood, gym, park, etc., and track your progress using an app. You can join from anywhere and at any time every April 1-30!
