Our goal is to award college scholarships to talented Hispanic youth as part of Fiesta of Hope. The dollars raised through Fiesta of Hope may very well mean the difference between a students ability to attend college in the fall, or falling behind.

Story

Investing dollars in Esperanza scholars is an amazing way to reward and support students who work hard, persevere, and will work to lift up their communities.

I have so much to be thankful for - most especially for donors and organizations like Esperanza.  So many believed in me and made a quality education accessible to me.  

My family supports Esperanza to help other students with access to the education and support that they so deserve.

Please join Michael and myself; we have pledged two scholarships and are attempting to crowd fund a third.  

Our Martinez Family Scholarship honors my firecracker grandparents (Alfonso and Leonor) and is in memory of my gone-too-soon uncle, Raymond.

Our Spangler Family scholarship honors our family together, and is a part of the example we hope to set for Roman and Carolina as they navigate and grow into their own roles as a Man and Woman for Others.

Thanks for considering a gift of any size!

About the campaign

About the charity

For nearly four decades, Esperanza has zealously worked to help Hispanic youth make educational gains that will set the foundation for a successful future. Through culturally competent educational support services, social-emotional learning, and leadership development, we remove obstacles that if not addressed, often lead to generational poverty and low educational attainment. Our students know, understand, and leverage their potential, and parents not only have the tools to help their student succeed, but are given tools - such as free ESL classes at multiple skill levels - to help themselves succeed. Ultimately, these efforts lead to not only thriving students, adults and families but thriving communities.
