Hope Horizon East Palo Alto is a registered faith-based non-profit, established in 1984 as Bayshore Christian Ministries, and officially changing to Hope Horizon East Palo Alto in early 2022. It has been serving East Palo Alto for over 40 years and runs after school programming for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Its programs include academic tutoring, STEM and robotics, and spiritual life, and focus on equipping students to grow spiritually, gain life skills, and develop as leaders. The organization states that 100% of the students in the academic program end the year reading at or above grade level. Scholarships are available to help with program costs, with both full and partial scholarships based on household income. Its stated priorities are spiritual growth, building life skills, and leadership development.
In the past 3 years, Hope Horizon East Palo Alto has partnered with over 25 churches and numerous local organizations. One volunteer, Elena, began searching for volunteer opportunities after accepting a postdoc position at Stanford. Volunteers describe their experience by saying, “If you can set up small games, you can see that they’re having fun and that they’ll actually do it,” and “The great part of it is seeing their progress through time and how they can slowly get better at what they do.” Another program volunteer says that volunteering there “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.”
