About the High School Leader Program

The OneHope NEO High School Leadership Program stands as a beacon of hope and solidarity. We (students in the program!) are provided a stipend to complete community service & leadership work each month. The goal is for high school students to gain skills necessary to change the world.

Our Vision: A Welcoming Cleveland

Imagine arriving in a new land, seeking safety, hope, and a fresh start. The journey is daunting, but the welcome can make all the difference. This is where we step in. The OneHope NEO High School Leadership Program is spearheading a project designed to embrace refugees into the greater Cleveland area with open arms and warm hearts.

Our Plan: Care, Compassion, and Connection

Our approach is simple yet impactful. We are rolling out a series of welcoming initiatives, including thoughtfully assembled care packages and vibrant family events, specifically tailored to make our new neighbors feel at home. These gestures of kindness are not just gifts but powerful symbols of acceptance and friendship.

Join Us: Every Dollar Counts

To bring this vision to life, we're calling on our community to lend their support. Hosting each event costs approximately $200, summing up to an annual goal of $2,400. Whether big or small, every donation brings us one step closer to creating a more inclusive and compassionate Cleveland.
