About
Urban Hope Inc. was formed to rescue and uplift children, teens and youth in the West Brighton community (North Shore of Staten Island) from a cycle of generational physical and emotional abuse, neglect, poverty, and lack of parental oversight and care resulting in risky social behaviors and poor academic performance.
We want to help the children and teens through our After-school program, Arts/Crafts/Music programs, six-week Summer Camp, Street Leadership Ministry (teen leadership development through paid internship and training programs), Workforce Development Centre (using a Basketball League and VISION TOURS as a Connect Point) to develop youth academically, socially, spiritually, and in leadership. In addition, we want to be a catalyst, resource, and partner to other local churches throughout the nation, with a focus on NYC, to help them do the same in each of their respective communities.
How we support them

How We Equip Them

How We Partner Together
Volunteers also come up with fun activities with youth such as cooking classes, music lessons, and arts and crafts.
