Hello.
Our New
Program
"Our Rites of Passage Self Discovery Program is dedicated to empowering and improving the lives of Black Youth through a 22 week (20 Instructional Weeks/2 Week Journey to Ghana). During the intensive 22 Week Program, students take a self discovery journey in which they learn about self, where they come from and what they are capable of achieving, leadership development, financial literacy, drug/alcohol awareness and community service. Our goal is to create a safe space for Black Youth to grow, flourish and transition into adulthood."
It takes a village to raise a child and Gifts of Hope would like to be that village.
