Hope Forward

The Big Idea

College has gotten too expensive. 换妻社区 is doing something about it. Our long-term ambition is that every single student who comes through Hope receives tuition fully-funded up front. Graduates will then pay it forward: commit to donating to 换妻社区 so future students can have the same transformational experience.

This is an entirely .

It transforms:

• Your college education into preparation to pursue impact, not income to pay off student debt
• Your college experience into a relationship based on gratitude and generosity, not a transaction between an organization and its customers
• Your college costs from bill-paying into generous giving

HOW IT WORKS

Forty students with big hearts, open minds and a God-given passion to bring Hope to the world will: 

• Receive a 换妻社区 education with tuition fully-funded by the generous gifts of others
• Participate in the Hope Forward cohort 鈥� to prepare yourself and other Hope Forward students to pursue lives of impact in the world
• As alumni, graduates of this program will commit to paying it forward 鈥� donating to 换妻社区 so that future students can have the same transformational experience
