About Us

ABOUT HOPE IGNITES ST. LOUIS

Hope Ignites is an international organization that works with young people in need from their critical adolescent years through college and into the launch of their careers.

Our scholars become a part of a family-like network that sticks with them through life's ups and downs for the long term. Along the way, they learn the significance of using their gifts and abilities to serve others and make a difference in their families, workplaces, and communities.

We believe in opportunity, education, and inclusion for every motivated young person.

These young people are selected according to their desire to participate and their capacity to respond to academically rigorous and character-defining programming. Our programs are guided by a long-term commitment to and a deep investment in these young people - our scholars.

Hope Ignites firmly believes that children have the power to overcome adversity, realize their potential, and help transform our world. Children create these successes when we remove obstacles, support and believe in them, and provide environments and opportunities that build on their strengths.
