Project HOPE

Purpose
The main objective is to provide Hispanic students with extra preparation for high school while introducing them to the university environment. The ultimate goal of Project Hope is to help students achieve in high school so they continue their education in college.

Each session serves 35 students from schools located in the Chicago Heights community. The fall and spring sessions are conducted on five consecutive Saturdays. The summer program runs three days a week for five weeks.
All programs include science, math, and creative writing taught by certified teachers in addition to physical activities and field trips.
