Hope Partnership for Education
Hope is a collaborative effort of the Sisters of the Holy Child and the Sisters of Mercy. In 2002, Hope began as an afterschool program for third and fourth graders, and in 2004, Hope opened a middle school for boys and girls in grades five through eight. Hope offers support to its graduates and provides adult education.

Volunteers Needed: Hope Partnership for Education needs people to tutor math or language arts for seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. Hope also needs people who can help troubleshoot computer problems and/or teach computer skills to students and staff members during the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Fridays.
