Content Description

Compact discs Photographs Video tapes "Established in 1971, HOPE united local community members, activists, social workers, and academics to study, coordinate, improve, and establish services and programs to benefit Massachusetts Hispanic community. The organization not only created several health-promotion and disease-prevention programs, but also worked to educate the Latino community about the spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases through peer education programs like Poder Latino (Latin Youth Power) and PLENA (Padres Latinos Educando Nuestros Adolescentes/Latino Parents Educating Our Youth). HOPE also established educational programs to help youths to stay in school and pursue higher education through GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) and HOPE for Youth Mentoring." (From University Libraries Faculty-Staff Newsletter: http://library.northeastern.edu/news-events/library-news/preserving-hope). HOPE closed in 2011 due to lack of finances. The collection documents HOPE's programs: Poder Latino, PLENA (Padres Latinos Educando Nuestros Adolescentes), TRIO Talent Search, HOPE for Youth Mentoring, and GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate). Also included are materials on the Timothy Smith Center for Community Technology and the Roberto Clemente Baseball League. The collection contains staff files, reports, brochures/pamphlets, correspondence, photographs, awards, and financial documents including budgets, audits, and financial statements.
