All too often we have young people in our community struggle to achieve their dreams of furthering their education. Helping Young People Excel values our youth and strives to give them the needed support in achieving their dreams. Providing a laptop for their first year in college is our contribution in showing them that we value their determination and drive and fully support their academic efforts.
"It is my hearts desire to reach as many deserving high school graduates as possible.” “With the help of our area churches, I believe we will succeed." `Ruthie Wilburn
Helping Young People Excel (HYPE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has partnered with churches in the Arlington, Rosemark, Millington and Munford areas as a Community Outreach Scholarship Program. Each church that joins with H.Y.P.E. can have one high school graduate receive a new laptop (one laptop per church).
HYPE also wants to recognize Commissioner Amber Mills for the unwavering support by awarding the state grant that made our mission possible. It is without a doubt that her partnership with HYPE has allowed this program to take root in the community.
HYPE's collaboration with Rev. Cary Vaughn and the HARE committee allows HYPE more visibility and outreach to achieve its mission to bring community awareness about the importance of furthering your education.
On August 1, 2021, Helping Young People Excel (HYPE) held its 6th award ceremony and awarded 14 high school graduates with a $500 Best Buy gift card to purchase their own laptop for their first year of college. We are so proud to let everyone know that to date, 85 high school graduates have been blessed with the technology that will help them succeed in their academic endeavors. Our friend Thomas Hayes was on hand and we thank him for giving words of encourage at the ceremony.
