Generation Hope

A 501(c)3 organization started in 2011 by Nicole Lynn Lewis with the mission to ensure all student parents have the opportunities to succeed, experience economic mobility, and build wealth, Generation Hope engages education and policy partners to drive systemic change and provides direct support to teen parents in college as well as their children through holistic, two-generation programming. Our Vision is that all teen parents and student parents, and their children, have every opportunity to succeed and are empowered to create a better future for themselves, our community, and our world.

Generation Hope provides wraparound support to young parents in college and their little ones so whole families can build legacies of opportunity and employment through educational attainment. Through our Scholar Program along with Next Generation Academy we provide parenting teen college students with college tuition assistance, one-on one mentoring, tutoring, mental health support, child development and parenting support, and connection to community resources to support their needs as they matriculate through their degree program.
