Who We Are

Durham's Hope for Kids is a dedicated organization focused on empowering youth in our community. We believe in the potential of every child and strive to provide them with the resources, mentorship, and opportunities they need to thrive. Our initiative, Girls Leading Our World (GLOW), is specifically designed to uplift young girls through targeted programs that promote leadership, confidence, and personal growth.

What We Do

At the heart of our mission is the GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) initiative, which aims to inspire and empower black and brown girls from diverse backgrounds. GLOW focuses on several key areas: 1. Leadership Development: We conduct workshops and activities that help girls develop essential leadership skills, fostering their ability to take charge and make impactful decisions. 2. Mentorship Programs: We connect girls with mentors who guide and support them in their personal and academic journeys, helping them navigate challenges and seize opportunities. 3. Community Engagement: Through various volunteer opportunities, girls are encouraged to engage with their community, learn the importance of service, and build strong, supportive networks. 4. Life Skills Training: Our programs include workshops on critical life skills such as public speaking, financial literacy, self-care, and goal-setting, equipping girls with the tools they need for success. By participating in the GLOW initiative, volunteers can make a meaningful difference in the lives of young girls, helping to shape the leaders of tomorrow. We invite NCCU students to join us in our mission to empower youth and create a brighter future for our community.
