Who We Are

Our Story

Hands Offering Hope believes in the incredible potential of young people. Through flagship programs and partnerships with community leaders, we help students set bold goals, realize their talents, pursue their dreams, and build the skills they need to change their lives, communities, and the world around them. 

What began as a small group of students in Chiquila, Mexico, has grown into a global community of students, graduates, young leaders, volunteers, teachers, and more. Together, we build comprehensive programs across the region that educate and equip hundreds of young people to become leaders in their homes, schools, neighborhoods, and beyond.

Where We Work

Hands Offering Hope works in a region of Mexico called Lázaro Cárdenas, Quintana Roo, that is plagued by economic poverty, limited job opportunities, high rates of teenage pregnancy, and social expectations that limit young people’s potential. We believe in the youth in this region, and we work within the local context to meet their needs.
