Boys Hope Girls Hope (BHGH) is a charitable organization based in the United States that provides group homes for academically capable children in need. Children are often enrolled in private schools and provided additional academic support. BHGH has been very successful in helping at risk children attend college and become successful professionals. BHGH has fifteen sites in the US and Latin America. Six to twelve children live in each home. BHGH also has a Community Based Program (CBP), where scholars live with parents, but receive BHGH benefits. Services are continued after high school graduation, including job placement and financial assistance through college. Participants are referred to as scholars. It was founded by a Jesuit priest, Paul Sheridan, but is not based on any religion or spirituality.
The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund aids the New York BHGH affiliate.
