the community dedicated to nurturing, supporting,

3. ABOUT US
The main goal of Hope Community Resource Center is to continue to
provide educational, tutoring, and mentorship support for youth
through facilitating community partnerships. The center has provided
free weekly after school and summer tutoring for area youth for the
past several years. The center has also worked with the local
community to provide an educational summer camp experience to
children that live in the New Orleans area, particularly the New
Orleans east area which suffers from a lack of resources for families
and children. We also provide adult literacy services to the
surrounding community.

Who did you serve, and what did you accomplish that day?
Students from two New Orleans area charter schools that participate in
Hope Community Resource Center’s After School Tutoring Program were
taken on an educational field trip to The Cabildo at Louisiana State
Museum.
What is your team's plan for an ongoing relationship with the
nonprofit?
Hope Community Resource Center partners with local schools including
Batiste Cultural Arts Academy and Henry Schaumburg Elementary by
providing weekly after school tutoring at our office on Crowder Blvd and the
Gentilly Branch Library. Hope Community Resource Center currently
partners with several resources in the local community. Some of our tutors
are college students who volunteer from Southern University at New
Orleans and Xavier University. Several retired and current educators also
provide after school tutoring. We also partner with several local schools in
terms of identifying children and families for program participation. We
maintain ongoing, supportive partnerships with the local community.
What would your nonprofit do if they won part of the prize money?
If our nonprofit won, the money would be used to purchase reading and
math technology based education programs including: Learning A-Z,
Reading A-Z, Brain pop, Achieve 3000, Failure Free Reading, IXL Math,
and Math Media. We would also purchase laptops and/or netbooks in
addition to IPADs to support the use of these programs.
