Project Hope seeks support of $25,000 from your Wallace Foundation for the general support of our project. Although we have not received support from your organization in the past, we guarantee that the funds will be used for a great cause. We believe that this project is aligned with your organization’s mission of building strong communities.

Project Hope is a program that aids parents and teachers in the academic and social development of middle school students. This program focuses on academic enrichment, recreation, and building confidence within all participants. Students will receive homework assistance, while participating in activities that promote interactive learning, and critical thinking skills. We have selected our schools due to geographical location and student population. Our goal is to provide students with multicultural enrichment programs while helping students to improve academically.

Project Hope will run Tuesday-Thursday from 3:00-5:30p.m. It will be held in a structured and safe environment with trained staff and personnel. The staff ratio is 1:10. The staff will maintain the ideal atmosphere for students to learn and develop.  Students will learn to critically analyze situations, brainstorm alternative actions, and predict consequences. Participants will gain an understanding of the social issues that affect their daily lives. They will learn the dynamics of thoughts, feelings, and actions. They will be taught to make alternative responses and actions to stressful situations through activities, such as physical exercise and creative expression. The program will be offered to parents at no cost. Programs will be held at designated schools.

We invite you to tour our project in the near future. Please call us to arrange a site visit. If you should need any additional information, please don’t hesitate to call us.

Sincerely,
