BHGH-SF Bay Area is a non-profit, residential program dedicated to improving the lives of children who are academically-motivated, but whose circumstances impede their healthy development. We provide HOPE -- a Home, Parenting, Opportunities and Education -- to help them realize their potential.
BHGH is 100% privately funded, and 87% of the funds directly support the scholars. The San Francisco affiliate now serves young men, and plans to someday offer a program for girls.
