Boys Hope Girls Hope is a privately funded non-profit organization. We help academically motivated and capable boys and girls, who are unable to meet their potential due to a variety of reasons such as an unstable home life, by providing a first rate education and a warm and nurturing environment. To better accomplish this mission, we do provide housing for the children. Our Boys Hope home is on the corner of Banks and S. Carrollton, across the street from Jesuit, and we are currently renting a house on Versailles for our girls. We are currently in the process of designing and rebuilding the Girls Hope home which was badly damaged during Hurricane Katrina.
We currently have six boys, 4 of which are freshman at Jesuit, one at Stuart Hall, and another at Cathedral elementary downtown. We also have six girls, five of which attend Dominican high school and one at Holy Name of Jesus. Each home has 2-3 house parents or residential counselors that live with the children.
