Description

Help a young family thrive: Mentor a teen parent in college!

Want to make a difference in the life of a young family? Generation Hope helps teen parents become college graduates by providing them with one-on-one mentoring, tuition assistance, and case management support. Since 2011, we've celebrated more than 170 degrees earned!

Generation Hope is currently recruiting Sponsors (mentors) for its incoming class! As a mentor, you have an opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with a young parent in college and make a tangible difference in their life by both investing in them financially and providing ongoing emotional support. It's a really unique opportunity that's super rewarding, and less than 2% of teen moms graduate college by age 30, so the need is huge. 

You can learn more and apply at www.generationhope.org/mentor, or reach out to Director of New Orleans Programming Lindsey Cross at lindsey@generationhope.org or ‪(504) 272-7231‬.
