Raes Hope

Main program- Rae's Hope's program includes a multi-faceted approach that combines team sports with a rich cirricula of life skills, healthy living, social skills, technology, financial literacy and community service. Our work is to engage young girls in the development of life-skills outside of school, with hopes of preventing them from disruptive behaviors by focusing on activities that lead to positive outcomes. Through our main program, the girls learn the sport of volleyball, while at the same time, practicing life-skills, improving themselves and building constructive relationships. Since our inception, 90% of the girls who participated in programming for more than two years have graduated from high school. Note that for the 2023 year, expenses include donated sports accessories in the amount of $80,400.

Special events - These includes events outside of the regular program that are open to all youth in the South Dalla area, including, but not limited to: i) Technology Day where participants learn various aspects of STEM, and ii) Fitness Day where we engage the youth to participate in various fitness activities by rotating to stations manned by volunteers.
