Connect Gang Youth with Opportunity

Tax deductible
It is hard to connect economic opportunity with gang youth who've learned society shuns them and who shun society in return; but it is possible. Please contribute to Hope Now for Youth.

Hope Now for Youth seeks out these gang youth and supports them through the transformational process of obtaining and holding legitimate jobs. It is a faith-based program (and for these youth a little faith makes a big difference), supported solely by donations. It provides much-needed emotional support and counseling, bicycles and other logistic help.

In 2016 Hope Now for Youth can obtain a matching donation if they can reach $25,000 of donations. I hope this campaign can contribute $1,000 toward that goal by the end of 2016. Donations will be paid directly to Hope Now for Youth, a 501(c)3 charity.

Some testimonials:
"Hope Now helped me to become a better person. Not just by getting me my first job, but also by encouraging me to get visitation to see my daughter and to go back to school. They gave me hope that I can become successful and taught me that it is better to run to Jesus than to run to the streets."

"My Hope Now For Youth counselor was a significant part of my change. I can’t emphasize that enough. He was always there for me and always on me when I felt like giving up. I remember him coming to my house and bringing quilts. My girlfriend and I were blown away how much he cared about us. We weren’t used to that kind of love."

"One morning I got a call from my dad about a program that he said I should go to called Hope Now For Youth. He said they help guys like me in getting a job and that it is Christian based. My wife and I were kind of skeptical of it at first because it sounded to good to be true, but we were wrong… it turned out to be much greater than just help with getting a job. They provided me with structure, friends and positive people to look up to. Hope Now became like another family to us."

I have been supporting Hope Now for over ten years and continue to do so because it is such an important, effective organization doing something I could never achieve otherwise.
