What We Do

At Hope Ignites Cincinnati, we are dedicated to fostering positive change and empowering youth within our community. Our mission is to ignite hope and spark action through innovative programs and collaborative initiatives that address the pressing needs of our Scholars. We fulfill this mission through a continuum of academic, residential, and personal development programs that span middle school through college.

Hope Ignites reflects the evolution of who we are and the impact we make. In an increasingly competitive landscape of youth-serving organizations, this name distinguishes us from others and clarifies our unique mission and impact.

Our new name reflects the full journey of those we serve—from scholars to young professionals—and better represents the diverse individuals and communities we serve.

A big thank you to documentary filmmaker and supporter Timmy Vatterott, who donated his time to make this video for this historic announcement!
