ABOUT
Programs that Build Purpose
At H.Y.P.E., we believe in meeting youth where they are — and walking with them toward where they’re meant to be. Our programs are built to support the whole person, helping youth develop confidence, discipline, and direction. Through a combination of mentoring, coaching, life skills, and community engagement, we help young people unlock their potential and step into their purpose.
Each program is intentionally designed to address the real challenges our youth face, while also creating space for growth, celebration, and connection. Together, these opportunities form the heartbeat of our mission.

"HYPE is an organization that stands by what they say. I can definitely say they have been a tremendous blessing in my life and truly mean it. They harnessed my potential and energy by pushing me towards purpose and helping me every step of the way; they did not leave me to figure it out alone."
– Tawana Taylor
YOUTH MENTORING SESSIONS
Saturday Sessions That Shape the Future
Every Saturday, H.Y.P.E. hosts high-energy group mentoring sessions designed to educate, empower, and encourage youth. These gatherings are more than just meetings — they’re intentional moments of connection, learning, and growth.
Mentees hear from guest speakers, community leaders, and mentors who pour into them with wisdom, real-life experience, and encouragement. Whether through open discussion, goal-setting exercises, or hands-on activities, each session is designed to build self-awareness, accountability, and leadership in a safe and supportive environment.

Individual Support for Real-World Success
While group sessions build community, we know every young person has their own journey — and sometimes, that journey needs a personal roadmap. That’s why H.Y.P.E. offers individualized coaching for youth who want extra guidance and support.
Through one-on-one sessions, we help mentees explore their goals, identify their strengths, and navigate challenges. From personal budgeting and time management to career exploration and life planning, this coaching creates space for practical, personalized growth rooted in each participant’s passion and potential.
MENTOR ORIENTATION
Equipping Mentors to Lead with Purpose
Our work wouldn’t be possible without mentors who are willing to invest their time, energy, and heart into the next generation. At H.Y.P.E., we prepare mentors to step into that role with confidence and care.
Through orientation and training, we guide mentors through our village mentoring model, offer strategies for youth engagement, and provide tools for consistent, meaningful support. Whether you're a first-time volunteer or a seasoned leader, you’ll be equipped to make a lasting impact.
SUPPORT
Building the Future
Too many young people in our community are left without safe, structured, and inspiring spaces once the school day ends. That’s why H.Y.P.E. is actively working to expand into a full after-school program and youth center that meets their needs — physically, emotionally, and educationally.
Our vision includes a facility with tutoring stations, a S.T.E.A.M. center, a computer lab, a game room, a gym, and more — a space where youth can learn, grow, and thrive every day of the week. We’re ready to build it. All we need is the continued support of our community.
