Thank you. - Boys Hope Girls Hope
Message from Our Executive Director Welcome to our second Annual Report to donors and friends of Boys Hope Girls Hope! We endeavor to inspire, empower, and nurture our Scholars so they can succeed at BHGH and well beyond. The following pages are filled with examples of what can come to fruition with a little HOPE. Have you ever seen a student’s eyes light up the first time they set foot on a college campus? That is an inspired look that I had the opportunity to see in Infiniti. Have you ever had a college student ask you what you think about the President’s track record and then articulate their own answer alongside yours? This is a student empowered by education, and I had this conversation with Arturo. Have you ever seen a mentor go out of their way to help a student prepare to interview for their first job? That is nurturing, and I see it often with our mentors and our Scholars. Have you ever watched a student grow from a seventh grader into a working professional in their first year out of college? That is success, we’ve seen it in all of our BHGH Alums. Even if you haven’t experienced any of these examples first-hand, you are receiving this publication because you are a part of bringing hope to our Scholars time and again. We succeed in educating our Scholars but we cannot do it without you! We hope you will take some time, read the stories, and soak in all that Boys Hope Girls Hope means for our Scholars. Thank you for being a part of our mission. Peter Beale-DelVecchio, Executive Director 1 Our mission is to help academically capable and motivated children who are at-risk and in-need to meet their full potential by providing value-centered, family-like homes, opportunities and quality education through college. W W W . C H I C A G O B H G H . O R G Boys Hope Girls Hope Success Inspire At the heart of our residential scholarship program is our mission to inspire our high school Scholars to be the best that they can be. We provide them with a safe home to live, study and achieve their goals in a loving, nurturing family-like environment. House parents help our Scholars manage their school work, activities, and community service, while they plan for their futures and dream big dreams. BHGH provides the tools they need to succeed – education, housing, food, clothing, tutoring, counseling, mentoring – but it is our Scholars who seize the opportunities in front of them to live, learn, and grow in our homes until they graduate from high school, ready to take on the next challenge ahead – education at a four year college or university of their choice. Empower Our 16 collegians are ready to seek opportunities and conquer the next challenge with courage and confidence. They are studying at the University of Kansas, University of Wisconsin-Madison, DePaul University, University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign, Loyola University, Marquette University, Cornell College, St. Norbert College, Bradley University and Drake University. Our collegians arrive on campus having learned to manage their time, are equipped with strong study skills, and have had practice living and working with others. 100% of our high school graduates go to four year colleges and universities, and BHGH provides them with scholarship support and help in other areas through college graduation. 90% of these Scholars graduate from college – a great testament to their hard work and desire to succeed. Nurture We are fortunate to have many long term adult volunteers who care for our Scholars, encourage growth and development and make a positive impact on our Scholars lives. There are so many roles our volunteers fulfill - serving on our Governing Board, our Advisory Board, our Women's Board, our Junior Board, serving as one-to-one Life Mentors to our Scholars and College Mentors to our seniors, those who bring meals to our homes, invite our Scholars to a game or activity, or to their homes, attend our Scholars’ athletic events or other extracurricular activities. The list is endless, and we could not accomplish our mission without the 200+ volunteers who help us every year. These individuals hold our Scholars dear to their hearts and make a difference to them every day. Succeed One word that means so much in the lives of our Scholars. Success is the ultimate goal – although it has so many meanings and takes so many different forms. Our alumni define success through their personal lives, their careers, their relationships and the lives they choose to lead after their college graduation. They are teachers, attorneys, financial planners, CPAs. They manage soup kitchens, women’s shelters, youth centers and nursing homes. They are sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, mothers and fathers – all making a difference in the world. Giving back and achieving their dreams. Our Scholar alums are changing the world! W W W . C H I C A G O B H G H . O R G 2 Inspire. Spend time with a Boys Hope Girls Hope Scholar and ask them to describe the program in one word. Their answers probably won’t surprise you: opportunity, education, friendship . . . Now ask them how their lives have changed as a result of the program. Their responses are often slow and thoughtful in coming, but usually begin with “BHGH inspires me to be my best!” NUBIA is a senior at Regina Dominican High School. She came to Boys Hope Girls Hope in search of a better education. She believes BHGH embodies spirituality, independence, and strength in academics. In Nubia’s own words, “BHGH inspires me to be my best solely by embodying its name, and its values overall. The HOPE, is for homes, opportunities, parenting, and education. The homes are structured to be family-like environments. The opportunities come in a wide array of possibilities. Great parenting is illustrated in the highly qualified residential counselors. And finally, the program encourages a great education for all of its Scholars.” After graduating, Nubia plans to tutor or be involved in some way with a BHGH affiliate. She wants “to give back to the future Scholars what the program has given her: love, commitment, persuasion, and dedication.” SALIM is a junior at Loyola Academy. He was born in Tamale, Ghana and moved to the United States with his dad and four older siblings when he was nine. He became interested in BHGH because he believed it was an opportunity to get a great education. In the future, Salim wants to enter a medical field, with hopes of becoming a doctor. Salim believes that with hard work and determination, Boys Hope Girls Hope will help him turn his dreams into reality. Boys Hope Girls Hope has changed Salim’s life by taking him out of his deteriorating community and placing him into an environment where he can succeed and become someone his family, community, and friends can be proud of. When asked how BHGH helps him, Salim said, “It inspires me to be my best, by showing me the way to success and helping me along the way.” 3 XAVIER is a junior at Loyola Academy. While in grammar school, Xavier realized that he wanted much more for himself based on a quote he had heard, “it’s not about where you are from, but where you are going.” Xavier understood there is no limit to what he can achieve and nothing will stop him from achieving his goals. During his search for the right school and opportunities, Xavier found Boys Hope Girls Hope. Xavier had no idea that in the end, joining Boys Hope Girls Hope would change his life. Xavier recently said, “Boys Hope Girls Hope Scholars make me want to be better. When you see your ‘big brother’ doing well and accomplishing great things in spite of his many obstacles, you learn perseverance and want the same for yourself. In leading by example, you not only let your light shine, you encourage others to let theirs shine as well.” JANAE is a sophomore at Regina Dominican High School. After seeing the success her older brother achieved in the BHGH program and watching him in college, she aspired to become a BHGH Scholar as well. She was completely overjoyed and thankful when she was given “the opportunity of a lifetime” to join the program. In her own words, Janae said, “I have an older brother who is currently a senior in college at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He has always been my number one role model. He successfully completed all four years as a Boys Hope Girls Hope Scholar. I saw how the program had made such a powerful impact on his life. The moment I saw him cross the stage at his high school graduation, I knew that I wanted to achieve greatness, too.” W W W . C H I C A G O B H G H . O R G Empower. Boys Hope Girls Hope collegian Scholars have the benefit of perspective. They know what it means to come from families deeply troubled by poverty, substance abuse, gang violence, and other seemingly insurmountable challenges. Our program is designed to break this crippling cycle by playing critical roles that their families cannot fulfill at this time. They learn how to live respectfully and peacefully in a diverse community setting. They are given all the tools they need to realize their full potential. MICHALLE is a sophomore at Marquette University majoring in Education. Besides going to class, she has two jobs and an education field placement this semester. Although she is extremely busy this year, she manages to work in studying every night. Michalle says, “I am learning a lot and am now thinking about getting my special education certification. I will be pledging a sorority soon, and I'm living with two of my closet friends. Because of BHGH, I am a pro at living with others. We've set rules for anything you could possibly think of. It has been an amazing experience so far.” MARCOS is a sophomore at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. Marcos is interested in pursuing pre-health, such as pre-nursing or pre-med. He is involved in Alpha Phi Omega fraternity, Carle Hospital Volunteering, and the Student Nursing Association. His first year in college, he invested a lot of time to service because, as Marcos said, “I understand how fortunate I am to have the opportunity that BHGH has made possible. BHGH helped prepare me for college well. I cannot imagine how much more difficult college would've been if I didn't receive an education and experience like I had through BHGH. Not just in terms of academics, but also in terms of what college life would be like. BHGH continues to support me.” Marco also shared, “My mentor and I still converse often and our relationship is still as genuine as it was when we met. He is the epitome of what every BHGH mentor should be – someone that goes above and beyond in providing quality support and guidance to Scholars and most of all, a best friend.” ARTURO is a senior at the University of Illinois and plans to graduate in May 2014. He is majoring in urban planning. Of his time at Boys Hope Girls Hope, Arturo says, “BHGH prepared me for college by providing a great balance of structure and independence. I learned how to manage my time to complete necessary school work by following structured study hours. Eventually, I earned the independence to set my own study schedule. This independence supplemented the structure I once followed in such a way that I am now able to complete collegiate work, yet also dedicate time to professional and social development.” Of his mentor relationship, Arturo said, “Having a mentor made the second biggest impact on my life – BHGH was the biggest impact. My BHGH mentor is someone I am still close with.” ALUEL is a junior at Loyola University and is majoring in Sociology. Aluel lived at Boys Hope Girls Hope for four years and believes that GH helped her develop a sense of independence, which made adjusting to college life much easier. She began her college career understanding the importance of budgeting both her time and her finances in order to study efficiently, live comfortably, and also enjoy her college experience. Of her mentor relationship, Aluel says, “I would say having a mentor had a positive impact on my experience at GH. Speaking of my personal experience, it wasn't so much the places we got to go or the things we were exposed to, but the genuine relationships we formed with the women who wanted to get involved in our lives. My mentor often encouraged me, welcomed me into her home, and was devoted to making my life away from home a fulfilling experience.” W W W . C H I C A G O B H G H . O R G 4 Nurture. Boys Hope Girls Hope volunteers are very special people. They fully understand and support the BHGH mission, but they do so much more. They give unselfishly of their time, treasure and talent, and they make the impossible seem possible. They genuinely care about our Scholars. We are so fortunate! LISA began her involvement with Boys Hope Girls Hope as a life mentor and has mentored three Scholars since she started. She was invited to join the Women’s Board and is now the Co-President of the board. Lisa believes it is part of our purpose to help others. Being a mentor allows her to support and nurture youth, so they can be successful in their lives. It provides an opportunity for her to develop and nurture a relationship with someone she wouldn't other wise get to know. Being on the board provides a growth opportunity for her to meet new people, build and nurture friendships and create events that raise money and are fun for people. Of her involvement with Boys Hope Girls Hope, Lisa says, “I LOVE being involved! I feel so much JOY in working with the kids and working with everyone in the organization. It enriches my life and my family's life.” 5 STELLA has been involved in Boys Hope Girls Hope for 17 years. She is active on the Women’s Board and the Secretary of the Governing Board. Stella and her husband are involved because Boys Hope Girls Hope is an initiative that changes lives, changes that they have witnessed. In her own words, Stella says, “We as parents would do anything to give our children a ‘leg up’ and all the opportunities to become the best they can be. If there is a basic right in this life, especially in this country, it is the right to an opportunity, the right to a good education, the right to a future. Well, that is what we do at Boys Hope Girls Hope. Our Scholars come from families deeply troubled by poverty, and all the problems that accompany it. Most of our Scholars are the first in their family to go to college. These children never thought they had a future, but they wanted to make something of themselves. Potentially overwhelming circumstances didn’t get in their way, because someone cared and made sure they didn’t fall through the cracks…and our alums are now living proof of their success and ours.” GERRY has been involved with Boys Hope Girls Hope for 17 years. He has served in many capacities on the Governing Board, including as Chairman and Chairman of the Development Committee. He has also served as a mentor to BHGH collegian Scholar, Marcos, for the past six years. In Gerry’s own words, his rationale for being so involved with BHGH is, “The mission is so compelling for any open minded individual who wants to assist youth to obtain a great education and understand what life is really about. Mentoring, support and the life lessons provided can truly be transformative for all who enter the BHGH program. My motivation has always been thinking about a young person who is capable of succeeding at a challenging high school, being able to go on to college but never being provided an opportunity because of their family circumstances. When our Scholars graduate, they are in a position to help their family learn what education can do and ideally introduce a new goal for all to achieve.” DOUG & ANN are passionate advocates for disadvantaged youth. After serving in many different capacities of the BHGH Governing and Women’s boards respectively, Doug and Ann began to mentor a young man, Jaquan, who was a candidate to become a Scholar at Boys Hope Girls Hope. Until Jaquan was admitted to the program, they helped him prepare for the disciplined community of BHGH, where mandatory study hours, chores and extracurricular activities are a daily part of our Scholars lives. When Jaquan became a Scholar at BHGH, Doug and Ann continued as his mentors, visiting him often and offering him advice and support. They attended his high school conferences, cross country and track meets, and all other important high school events. Doug and Ann also became Jaquan’s college mentors, helping him through the whole college application and selection process. W W W . C H I C A G O B H G H . O R G Succeed. Read about our Boys Hope Girls Hope alums, and you will be in awe. These young people have taken the opportunities offered to them and transformed their lives! And they’ve done it humbly, graciously, and with unparalleled determination and enthusiasm. DEBRA is currently Communications Director for U.S. Congressman Bobby L. Rush of Illinois’ First District and is a proud 2009 graduate of Boys Hope Girls Hope. Debra believes that becoming a part of Girls Hope was truly an opportunity of a life time, because it was one of the great turning points in her life. Debra explains, “What Girls Hope did was lift a weight not only from my mother's shoulders, but it made becoming a college graduate a reality for me. Girls Hope provided me exposure to a world every child should be privy to no matter their economic constraints. The uncertainty of my future dissipated after becoming a Girls Hope Scholar and in 2009, I became the first in my family to graduate college with a dual degree in Communications and Political Science from Saint Louis University. Girls Hope changed my life, and I feel I have been blessed despite many of life’s ups and downs.” LUCIEN graduated from Harvard College and UCLA Law School, worked as an attorney for a notfor-profit in Los Angeles, and recently relocated back to Chicago. He is currently working as a consultant and starting his own business with friends from college. Lucien remembers his time living at Boys Hope Girls Hope fondly saying, “BHGH helped prepare me for the life I live today by showing me the benefits of being responsible. Taking care of responsibilities like daily chores, homework, and other tasks helped me look past the unpleasantries of doing things I don't like doing but reap great rewards once completed. A lot of glory we seek can only be obtained through hard work and dedication. Living with others at Boys Hope, where my responsibilities affected the happiness of others, taught me these lessons well.” FARQAN is an RN and a Family Nurse Practitioner Candidate at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He also works part-time doing glaucoma research at the Illinois Ear and Eye Infirmary, as part of an NIH and WHI grant. The thing Farqan remembers most fondly about Boys Hope Girls Hope is the family life. About it, he says, “This was and still is the most important thing that I reminisce about when thinking about BHGH. Though the impact of the education I received is second to none, the family life I had on a day-to-day basis was also instrumental in allowing my progression into an educated adult. The impact of simple things that we as adults take for granted about our family life, such as eating dinner together, was crucial in allowing so many of the boys and girls to succeed at BHGH.” Farqan also believes that the love, loyalty, compassion and charity of others, allowed him to go on to be a BHGH Scholar, which had a “monumental impact” in his life. LATOYA graduated from college with a BA in Sociology. After graduation, she went back to her neighborhood to work in the program she grew up in. She is also currently working part time as a house parent at Girls Hope, and she would eventually like to get her Masters degree in Social Work. Latoya aspires to work at a juvenile detention center and ultimately be a probation officer. She wants to help troubled youth get back on the right path. Latoya says, “I am all for GIVING BACK to those who have helped pave the way for me. I live by, ‘You must be the change you wish to see in the world’; I want to leave behind a legacy as great as Dr. King.” W W W . C H I C A G O B H G H .

C H I C A G O B H G H . O R G Partners in Hope 2013 Highlights Boys Hope Girls Hope is fortunate to have many long-time partnerships with individual donors, corporations, and foundations. We are sincerely grateful to all our generous donors for all they do to support our Scholars. We are blessed to have such wonderful friends. The Foglia Family Foundation has been a lead partner in supporting our Sponsor-A-Scholar initiative, by sponsoring two of our Scholars for the four years they are in our residential program. Through its generosity, the Foglia family has enabled our Scholars to focus on their studies and actively participate in extracurricular activities that interest them. They have also mentored our Scholars by helping them learn about career opportunities and the discipline and desire it takes to be successful in those careers. The Foglia family has improved the lives of our Scholars in many ways and we are grateful for their investment in our Scholars’ futures. Lawyers Lend a Hand to Youth Foundation has provided funding for the BHGH Life and College Mentoring programs, as well as our Tutoring program, for several years. We are grateful for the work that Lawyers Lend-A-Hand is able to do in the mentoring and tutoring fields and are thankful for the support they have provided to our program. We appreciate our partnership with Lawyers Lend A Hand in our common goal of providing long term, supportive adult relationships to disadvantaged youth. Loyola Academy offers our male Scholars the best possible opportunity for a great education as they strive to reach their potential. Since 1981, Loyola Academy has generously and consistently provided Boys Hope Scholars with a fabulous college preparatory education, athletic and fine arts scholarship support, summer camp and enrichment programs. In addition to direct Scholar support, the Boys Hope Girls Hope of Illinois office space is donated by Loyola Academy. Regina Dominican High School provides our female Scholars with a wonderful college preparatory education, as well as many opportunities for service, athletic and extracurricular activities. All of this gives our girls a great high school education and leadership opportunities, rich with well-rounded experience. As Sr. Mary Margaret Pachuki, O.P., President of Regina Dominican said, “The mission of BHGH aligns so well with the mission and vision of the Adrian Dominican Sisters and Regina Dominican. . . BHGH and Regina Dominican is a great partnership.” St. Athanasius School welcomes and educates younger BHGH Scholars who are leaving home in their formative years in search of reaching their potential and achieving their dreams. St. A’s families have fully embraced the BHGH mission and our Scholars. St. A’s volunteers have provided Friday night dinners to our houses for several years, extending the hospitality our Scholars have felt at school into our homes. They have helped make our Scholars’ extracurricular activities possible and fun by helping with uniforms, equipment and carpools. Zurich North America has provided consistent and valuable support to BHGH Scholars for many years. We are extremely grateful for the relationship we continue to build with Zurich. Zurich’s support has made a meaningful difference in the lives of our Scholars and our program. With each step we have taken, opportunities for Zurich involvement and insights greatly benefit our Scholars. In addition to funding several programs at BHGH, Zurich employees have invested their time to build personal relationships with our Scholars. They have provided mentoring and educational opportunities and have invited our Scholars to learn first-hand about their business. Zurich volunteers have made a significant impact in the care and renovation of our homes and made holiday celebrations special for our Scholars. W W W . C H I C A G O B H G H .
