In 1991, staff and volunteers at the Star of Hope recognized a dire need in the community when the youth they served left the shelter and returned to their previous circumstances. In many cases, the progress made at the shelter was quickly overcome by the youths’ environment. In the absence of ongoing contact and encouragement, most youth felt that yet another door was closed in their face.
In September of 1991, a group of concerned citizens, led by Star of Hope volunteer Wendy Dewlen and staff member Kim Hansen, came together to form Hope for Youth as a way to help these teenagers stay connected and thrive in their difficult surroundings.
For over 30 years, Hope For Youth has provided programming designed to give Houston’s urban youth a fighting chance for a better future, through healthy relationships with Christian mentors and a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
