A Little Bit of Hope
About A Little Bit of Hope
A Little Bit of HOPE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on building awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) opportunities in alignment with academia and corporate partnership to create equitable wealth opportunities for people of color and women.
ALBH will focus initially on cultivating relationships with socioeconomically distressed communities and families, particularly middle and high school students, while also aligning college bound students with opportunities for scholarships and internships and illuminating STEAM careers and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Our Values
Equitable Access
We believe a zip code is a location, not a limit. By intentionally centering communities historically excluded from the innovation economy, we clear the path by providing the tools and representation needed to turn systemic barriers into career breakthroughs.
BOLD Dreaming
We challenge our students to look beyond "what is" and design the "what if." By transforming heart led visions into actionable blueprints, we teach our scholars that dreaming is the first step toward building a promising future.
Strategic Partnership
Opportunity is a matter of proximity. We activate a network of schools, businesses, and neighborhoods because we know that collective investment creates career pathways that no one should have to navigate alone.
Rooted Hope
We turn seeds of hope into an unshakable foundation. By investing in the long haul, we ensure the love for learning we plant today grows into a standard of leadership that stays with a student for a lifetime.
Family Collaboration
Success starts at the kitchen table. We treat parents and guardians as our most vital partners, honoring the home as the first and most essential classroom a child ever enters to ensure sustainable, multi-generational growth.

If you want our society to continue to evolve positively, then invest in our students. If you want them to have a positive outcome in life, find ways to ensure they have exposure to important subjects.
