Hope Horizon East Palo Alto Youth Programs is a faith-based non-profit organization that runs after school programming for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. It equips east-of-Bayshore youth so that they have hope and a future. The organization was established in 1984 as Bayshore Christian Ministries and officially changed to Hope Horizon East Palo Alto in early 2022, and it has been serving East Palo Alto for over 40 years. Their vision is alumni who are active Christ followers with hope, purpose, and marketable skills who give back to their communities. They describe their approach as holistic, relational, and collaborative, and they emphasize values including a teachable attitude, relationships, diversity, and active faith.
The program offers spiritual development, academic support, and robotics for elementary and middle school students, and spiritual development and robotics for high school students. In the academic program, 100% of the students end the year reading at or above grade level. Program scholarships are available, including full and partial scholarships based on household income. In 2025, 8 college scholarships were awarded. There are 218 volunteers involved with the organization.
Hope Horizon East Palo Alto has partnered with over 25 churches and numerous local organizations in the past 3 years and currently has 22 church partners. It collaborates with volunteers, prayer warriors, donors, churches, and other organizations as a community youth development organization that runs after school programming for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Among the students served, 93% are Hispanic or Black, and 80% of Ravenswood School District students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
One volunteer says, “I know that if I don’t work service into a part of my life in a certain regularity, then it becomes so easy to push it aside. We get distracted by the urgent things, and forget to put things into the right places.Volunteering here helps me to keep my eyes on the things that are important but not necessarily urgent. It helps me to practice what I want to be.” Another volunteer, Elena, says, “The great part of it is seeing their progress through time and how they can slowly get better at what they do.” Elena accepted a postdoc position at Stanford.
