Education

We believe that education is one of the most foundational components for empowering communities with a new hope.

We believe in the importance of functional education and how it can open the door to the opportunities that every student should have regardless of economic status. We are laying this foundation of a Brighter Future by providing quality educational classes at our clubhouse locations in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, Kenya, India and Pakistan.

We work in impoverished communities, and many of the students run the risk of dropping out of school in order to help provide an income for their families. We hold 6 classes per week at each clubhouse in the subjects of Bible, English, Vocational Skills/Business, Healthy Relationships, and Personal Growth. Some of the classes include Art, Dance, Eco-Tourism, Business Mentoring, Organic Farming, and Human/Sex Trafficking Awareness. As the students pass each class with at least 80% “on time” attendance they receive Certificates of Completion. Since 2012, Seeds of Hope has awarded over 50,000 certificates to students for completing classes. Since Seeds of Hope began giving these certificates, local businesses have started to recognize them when hiring new employees. Graduation with 25 classes completed allows students to advance to a teacher’s aid position. The goal of Seeds is to have 25 students enrolled each session in every clubhouse who will graduate knowing that they are well loved by God, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically equipped to live a healthy and productive life, with a vocation that they are passionate about.

We are very excited to see more SOH Club Houses open throughout the world! Contact us about opening a clubhouse in your area!

RECREATION

Seeds of Hope is building a positive community within the disadvantaged youth of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Kenya, India and Pakistan by providing exciting recreational activities as rewards for learning. Each time a student completes 13 classes, they are able to participate in a "paseo" or field trip extracurricular. These paseos have included beach days, surf lessons, canopy tours, pool parties, national park tours, and movie nights. The paseos encourage active participation in the SOH program, and they also provide the kids with fun recreational activities they may not have normally been able to experience otherwise.
