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

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.

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!

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.”

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.
