Target H.O.P.E. is a nonprofit organization with a mission to enhance educational opportunities for minority students attending public high schools in the Chicago metropolitan area. Healing, Opportunity, Pride and Empowerment are the concepts through which Target H.O.P.E creates innovative academic retention strategies to combat the high school dropout crisis and increase minority graduation rates in higher education.

Our goal is to address the academic under preparation of minority students by creating a college going culture of success, support and excellence.  We cultivate success in our students through college-style courses in core subjects offered at a Saturday Academy, college tours, support for students while in college, and introduction to graduate and professional school.  Target H.O.P.E. programs reinforce academic excellence, and the importance of completing a college education.
