EMPOWERING YOUTH

We Give Kids The Foundation For A Successful Life

Our Programs

Beacon of Hope Youth Foundation empowers foster, homeless, and at-risk youth ages 6–24 through education, financial literacy, mentorship, and life skills training.

Join Our Movement

The Junior Board of Directors is a youth leadership initiative that empowers students ages 6–24 to serve as ambassadors, decision-makers, and event planners for the Beacon of Hope Youth Foundation. Members learn about governance, teamwork, public speaking, and project management while representing their peers at community events. This program builds confidence and leadership skills by allowing youth to take ownership in shaping programs and initiatives that directly impact them.

The Children’s Business Fair gives young entrepreneurs ages 6–24 the opportunity to showcase their creativity and business ideas by setting up real vendor booths to sell products and services to the public. This hands-on learning experience teaches communication, sales, customer service, and problem-solving skills in a fun, supportive environment.
