H.O.P.E.'s Break the Cycle Program (BTC) is a 2-5 year program designed to help single parents ultimately achieve self-sufficiency and break the cycle of poverty with education, training, and a middle-class income. Through an education/workforce partnership, BTC provides life skills training, adult mentorships, financial support, educational guidance, and employment placement for single parents living in poverty with their children, who are working to get academic and professional degrees. Hand in Hand is a program created via our partnership with another local nonprofit organization, Rainbow Village, to provide support through our H-LISP program for transitioning homeless single parents interested in obtaining a college degree.
