Did you know that we installed a new basketball goal in Wallace Woods? 

Here’s a look at the kids shooting hoops on their new basketball goal!  Their smiles light up the court, a testament to the dreams we’ve turned into reality.  This moment marks the beginning of endless memories and opportunities for our community.  Stay tuned for more glimpses of joy and unity as we continue to #GoGiveHope #neighborhoodhope #GLCEast #CommunityUnity 🏀💫

Happy Monday Everyone! We hope you have a great week ☺️ #neighborhoodhope #eastcharlotte #clt #happymonday

Connect nights are always so special! Check out our Connect Nights where we believe in the power of doing life together. Through mentorship, community building, and empowerment, we’re breaking cycles and restoring hope. Let’s be the change together! This week we have two options: Parkwood East w/ @glceast or you can come to Meadow Oaks w/ @irvinignatius - which will you choose? 🫡👀 If you’re interested, DM us — we can’t wait to see you out there! 🎉

Here’s a few smiling moments from one of our recent tutoring sessions! ☺️😇🙂 Every Monday and Wednesday, our students are paired with a tutor for one-on-one skill building for reading. They begin their time with an individualized reading lesson on their Chromebook. Then, they work with their tutor to build reading fluency/comprehension through either reading buddies, personalized skill-building lessons, or homework help. We implement a program called i-Ready as a tool to determine how to best meet each student’s academic needs. Having tutors work side-by-side with the students helps build relationships while strengthening reading skills. If you’re interested in being a volunteer for next school year, DM us — we would love to have you with us! 🎉 #NeighborhoodHope #EmpowerCharlotte #BreakCycles #RestoreHope #BuildFamily, #CommunityMentoring #HopeForAll #ChangeTheNarrative #TogetherForHope #TransformingLives #HopeInAction #BuildingBridges #EmpowermentMovement #CharlotteCommunity #HopefulFuture #MakingADifference #EndPovertyNow #HopeBringers #LoveInAction #BeTheChange #EmpowermentProject #BuildingBetterFutures #HopeRevolution #UnitedForHope #CommunityDevelopment #HopefulHearts #BreakingBarriers #PositiveChange #GoGiveHope

Our very quick and effective volunteering method 😉… 😂All jokes aside, we would love to see you at one of our connect nights 👀 Our Connect Nights are our Neighborhood Initiatives. These initiatives are a program that expresses the heart behind Neighborhood Hope. We believe doing life on life is vital to a kid’s success and impacts every area of life. Our conviction is that true change happens when we do life in the Neighborhoods. NI is a great environment to further our oneness with the community, teach volunteers about the culture, and cultivate mentoring relationships. If you’re interested, DM us — we can’t wait to see you out there! 🎉 #NeighborhoodHope #EmpowerCharlotte #BreakCycles #RestoreHope #BuildFamily, #CommunityMentoring #HopeForAll #ChangeTheNarrative #TogetherForHope #TransformingLives #HopeInAction #BuildingBridges #EmpowermentMovement #CharlotteCommunity #HopefulFuture #MakingADifference #EndPovertyNow #HopeBringers #LoveInAction #BeTheChange #EmpowermentProject #BuildingBetterFutures #HopeRevolution #UnitedForHope #CommunityDevelopment #HopefulHearts #BreakingBarriers #PositiveChange #GoGiveHope

Imagine this: after years of dreaming, planning, and relentless determination, we finally took the step and made something unbelievable happen last weekend. We rolled up our sleeves and began laying the groundwork for something truly special: the basketball court at Wallace Woods. None of this would’ve been possible without the incredible support from @insight_global, @basesix, @glceast, and our Neighborhood Hope donors. As we took backboard up the ladder, we felt a surge of emotion sweep through the community. Families gathered around, disbelief written on their faces, uttering phrases like, ‘I can’t believe this is happening. But it was real. It was happening right before our eyes. And yet, amidst the excitement, we know this is merely the beginning to a much greater story. Like the Apostle Paul’s unwavering faith in his journey, we too hold onto the belief that what has been started here will be brought to a hopeful finish. So, join us this friday as we complete the installation. DM us if you are interested. Let’s #GoGiveHope #GLCEast #CommunityUnity Thank you @z.kindie for capturing this.

All smiles, all the time. #neighborhoodhope #eastcharlotte #gogivehope #tutoring Photo creds: @z.kindie

Happy Easter! 🕊️😊 As we celebrate, we’re reminded of our mission: to help others break free from negative cycles and uplift forgotten communities, just like he does.

We’re humbled by the support from our community. Each contribution makes a tangible difference. Thank you to everyone who’s joined us on this journey.

It means family and love and support.” How amazing is that? 🥹😊 #community #eastcharlotte #hope #homeawayfromhome

Every day we’re helping close the gap on education with the kiddos in our tutoring program… Since the beginning of the school year, we’ve seen so much growth in our kiddos. We know exactly how to continue closing the gap, and we make progress every day thanks to the help of local volunteers and generous supporters. If we work together, we believe everyone kiddo will have access to the resources, support, and tutoring they need. We invite you to be a part of the solution in changing the narrative in these beautiful communities. Follow the link in our bio and join us as a monthly giver or a volunteer.
