Girls Hope of Pittsburgh
GIRLS HOPE is a nonprofit, nondenominational organization that helps girls who are hurt and at-risk academically, yet capable of academic achievement, to realize their self worth and leadership potential. We do this by providing value-centered, family like homes and a quality education through college.
We believe that a long-term nurturing home environment and an excellent education are the primary tools required to break the cycle of poverty, abuse and neglect.
Girls Hope help academically capable and motivated children-in-need to meet their full potential and become women for others by providing value-centered, family-like homes, opportunities and education through college.
Founded on the believe that a loving God cares about the life of every individual, Girls Hope acts in accordance with the following values:
Education is critical to reaching one?s full potential.
Spirituality and an active faith-life are essential elements of healthy personal development.
Children have the capacity to transcend their circumstances if given a safe environment, opportunities, and loving support.
Integrity, honestly, respect, a willingness to love, and service to others are important measures of personal success.
Individuals are responsible for their destinies and actions, and all children deserve the guidance, support and opportunities to choose a path to reaching their full potential.
Respect for the dignity, value, unique perspectives, and talents of every individual is the foundation of positive social and emotional development, as well as strong and vibrant communities.
