University of Rochester Students Helping Honduras

University of Rochester Students Helping Honduras Students Helping Honduras is a national, non-profit organization founded in 2007 that now has chapters in high schools and colleges across the nation.

Each SHH chapter aims to improve education and living conditions in rural Honduras through fundraising and annual service trips to El Progreso, Honduras, where members get to experience the personal satisfaction of seeing their fundraising efforts materialized. Our chapter combines this with weekly Spanish tutoring trips to a local public school and other services in Rochester in order to give bac

k to the Hispanic Rochester community while simultaneously allowing our members to improve their ability to interact with a culturally diverse group of people. In addition, our fundraising events on campus will educate and provide local awareness about the marginalized and ethnically unique cultures in Honduras as we raise funds to donate to the national organization and reduce service trip costs. Overall, the mission of our chapter is to build a movement of young leaders in order to empower orphaned and vulnerable children in Honduras as well as give back to the Rochester community through service focused on the Hispanic population.
