Why would a parent put a child into Boys Hope Girls Hope?
Financial deprivation, a parent’s death or incapacitation, serious disruptions in the child’s home life, and a multitude of other factors can all force a loving parent to realize that he or she cannot provide everything that the child needs to become a successful adult. The family-like atmosphere of the Boys Hope Girls Hope homes, the program’s strong record of success, its emphasis on the development of the whole person, and its expectation that the parent(s) will remain a central and committed part of the child’s life and upbringing, can make the transition from troubled home to stable and supportive environment not only a necessary process, but a positive one.
