Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering at Generation Hope's Annual Holiday Party! This day is filled with craft making, hot chocolate making, Christmas games, food and more! The Holiday Party brings lots of love and laughter for the Scholars (teen parents in college) and their children during the holiday season! It will take place at the Silver Spring Civic Center, One Veterans Place, Silver Spring, MD 20910 on Thursday, December 20, 2018 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
This year we are hosting for over 200 Scholars and Sponsors (YAY!)! Because we have grown vastly in so little time, we are asking the community to help us with the crafting stations and to help navigate the the party! Purchase items and volunteer to make this event a success!

About Generation Hope
Location:
1401 Okie Street NE, Suite 300, WASHINGTON, DC 20002, US
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.
