It is not the intent of the Program to award grants that would benefit individuals, be used as sponsorships, be used for religious activities, primarily fund the indirect or administrative costs of a program/organization, or be used for the direct benefit of the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community. Date of Application: July 1, 2021 Organization Name: Boys Hope Girls Hope of Arizona Organization/Municipal Government Mailing Address: 3443 N Central Ave., Arcade 7 Phoenix Az 85012 Organization History: (Provide a brief summary of the origins of the organizations and any notable milestones and/or significant audit findings) Education is the cornerstone of the BHGH mission and purpose. Originally founded in 1977 in St. Louis, Missouri, Boys Hope Girls Hope came to Arizona in 1989. BHGH provides access to private education and holistic support through college for high-achieving, under-resourced children statewide, often from south, central, and west Phoenix. BHGH tackles the root causes of poverty and poor achievement by addressing two of the greatest needs of marginalized youth: a strong academic foundation and emotional support. Through BHGH, scholars gain access to the resources and support necessary to attain a college degree, become true leaders, and break the generational cycle of poverty. BHGH scholars are 95% first- generation college-goers and are overcoming challenges of poverty, addiction, unemployment, incarceration or other environmental factors; and are taking advantage of the opportunity to apply their academic ability and use their intrinsic motivation to design a better future for themselves and their families. BHGH fosters a strong sense of commitment to education, personal development and fosters a college- going culture. We know our future not only includes academic and resiliency skill building; but plays a role and assists our scholars as future leaders to communicate, adapt and respond in ways that improve people’s ability to understand the basic norms and perspectives of people from other cultures, and recognize context and cues that help achieve shared meaning. We believe this resiliency, understanding and increased self-confidence will have a direct impact on scholars’ academic performance, confidence and results. Recent accomplishments include continued progress in our intentional understanding and practice of equity and inclusion. Our goal is to help scholars “navigate” rather than “assimilate” so that they gain confidence and comfort but do not lose their pride in and connection to their own culture. BHGH demonstrates providing a quality education in combination with wrap-around academic and non- academic supports contributes to our scholars’ success. BHGH creates post-secondary pathways, embodies a strong sense of commitment to education, personal development and fosters a college- going culture. School faculty and BHGH program staff and volunteers are role models who share their experience, their talents, and their time. BHGH is truly breaking the cycle of poverty for youth and families in our local community, and we are grateful for the investments which makes this possible.

In the description provide a summary of the relevant experience, administrative activity, and program development related to the grant request. Through a voluntary, competitive process, youth apply to BHGH. Depending upon the specific needs and circumstances of the family, youth will join one of two Scholar Success program paths: the Residential Program, or the Academy program. All youth receive long-term, comprehensive support to develop academically, socially, emotionally, physically and spiritually and are supported through college graduation. The Scholar Success program provides case management, youth development and post-secondary success programming year-round for 90 BHGH 6th grade students through college seniors. BHGH scholars are enrolled in college preparatory schools emphasizing rigorous academics, personal responsibility, character development and social emotional learning. Scholars receive the support they need to excel including scholarships, focused study time, school supplies, technology access, tutoring, transportation and participation in sports, clubs and extra-curricular activities. Program staff and volunteers facilitate a robust series of workshops to ensure scholars are ready to be self-sufficient young adults and curriculum includes life-skills, SAT/ACT preparation, study skills, financial literacy and career exploration. The ‘My Roads‘ online portal system is filled with a variety of enrichment activities and transitional workshops that assess college readiness. Our holistic support and best-practice curriculum results in an 86% college graduation rate, more than 50 points higher than the average for similar students. BHGH desires to not only help scholars achieve academic excellence and post-secondary degrees; but to truly succeed within systems where they and their parents and guardians may not have accessed, persisted and thrived historically. BHGH believes providing a quality, value-based education and an intentional community, in combination with our Learning Center and our two residential homes, contributes to our scholars’ success.
