Hope Ignites New York

Hope Ignites New York's mission is to nurture and guide motivated young people in need to become well-educated, career-ready men and women for others.

Located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY, Hope Ignites New York operates a rigorous college preparatory boarding program in partnership with Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. Using a residence next to the school, Hope Ignites New York works year-round to serve at-risk, low-income teens who can excel in a nurturing and demanding academic community. As the region's only urban boarding program, Hope Ignites New York is at the vanguard of youth development and its overall efficacy and approach continue to set new standards in student services and support.

We believe in the transformative power of education to cultivate lifelong learners who rise above disadvantaged backgrounds. Our scholars learn and grow together as we help them bridge gaps through robust enrichment tools, enhanced learning, and safe spaces for development that prepare them for success in post-secondary education.
