Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Hope Partnership for Education was founded in 2002 in partnership with community residents on the ideals that every Philadelphian should have access to a quality educational experience to combat the barriers of poverty. For two decades, the organization's intent has remained the same: provide the same degree of knowledge, opportunity, access, and choice to students living in poverty as those with inherent privilege.
It is in this spirit of learning and inclusiveness that we are committed to the Core Values of Academic Excellence, Compassion, Hope, Hospitality, Joy, and Respect focused through a lens of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
We believe our programming can support in alleviating multi-generational poverty for our beneficiaries. Hope Partnership for Education seeks to address access to quality educational and career attainment for students who would, otherwise, attend historically under-resourced public schools.
Our Education Center's primary goal is to ensure students, alumni, and community neighbors have access to quality of life improving resources that open pathways to economic opportunities.
Make Hope a Habit!
I joined the student council in hopes that I can lead the Hope community in “Making Hope a Habit.”
