Hope Street Youth Development is a youth development agency that started in Wichita, KS in 1990. For 20 years, we have worked to create opportunities for young people to be empowered to make choices that will affect their lives and communities. Hope Street is a youth-led organization. Students and adults work in partnership to develop programs that connect the interest of the students will real-world skills they will need to succeed. Our current programs involve professional development, financial literacy, service learning, academic support, college prep, summer, and break programming. In all of our focus areas, students are the decision makers. It is our mission to engage young people in opportunities where they gain leadership skills, tools for academic success, and grow as a person holistically
to become successful, productive and aware citizens. We are creating a world where youth are empowered to Think, Speak, and Act for themselves in their school and community.
