Generation Hope ( www.supportgenerationhope.org) is a nonprofit organization that helps D.C.-area teen parents graduate from college by providing them with one-on-one mentoring, tuition assistance, and crisis intervention.
The Career Clinic is a once a year event that allows our Scholars, who are all teen parents going to college, learn about their career options, network with professionals in their fields, practice interviewing skills, and more. We're looking for individuals to get involved in a variety ways for the Career Clinic--please see our sign up (https://generation_hope.formstack.com/forms/career_clinic_volunteer_sign_up) for all of the opportunities and feel free to sign up for more than one as long as the times don't conflict!
Here is the information about the Career Clinic:

Mission Statement
Generation Hope is a nonprofit organization that matches sponsors with teen parents who are attending college and are in need of financial and emotional support. Based on the belief that education is vital to success, its purposes are to give young parents and their children a support system as they pursue academic excellence, to provide a direct-support experience for sponsoring organizations and individuals, and to create a new generation of ambitious and successful families.
Description
This one-of-a-kind program, started by a former teen mother who wanted to see more teen parents beat the odds, matches teen parents (Scholars) who are attending college in the Washington, D.C. metro area with individuals, organizations, and local businesses (Sponsors) to participate in a mentoring relationship that includes emotional and financial support. This is a multi-year commitment, lasting until the Scholar receives their college degree.
We believe education is the best promise for teen parents to achieve stable and successful futures and consistent financial and emotional support increases the likelihood that they will graduate. When teen mothers and fathers earn college degrees, their children are less likely to live in poverty, and our communities are strengthened.
