Big love to Dress For Success for showing our New Orleans Scholars some love!

Getting career-ready is all about building confidence, developing your professional presence and having the tools to show up as your best self. That’s why Dress for Success’s work is so important to our Scholars as they prepare for their next career moves!

With Career Week coming up October 19–23, our Scholars will be exploring career paths, polishing their résumés and LinkedIn profiles, practicing interviews, and making meaningful professional connections. We’re so grateful for partners who help make that preparation possible!

We are proud to celebrate Sierrah Chavis, our Director of Development, on her selection to the inaugural Future Moguls Executive Accelerator @ The Mecca, presented by the DC Chamber of Commerce and Howard University School of Business Office of Executive Education.

A DMV native and University of North Texas alumna, Sierrah earned a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Social Work and Sociology before earning a Master of Education in Special Education and Secondary Education. As a mother who began raising her children at 19 and 22 while in college, her personal and professional experiences have shaped a career grounded in service, education, and opportunity.

The seven-session Future Moguls program brings together emerging business and civic leaders for executive education focused on leadership, strategy, innovation, government contracting, executive negotiations, and community impact.

We’re excited to celebrate Sierrah as she joins this inaugural cohort and continues to grow her leadership and expand her impact in the DC community!

Standing with student parents means understanding what they’re actually balancing. Coursework, jobs, childcare, and all the responsibilities that don’t always make it onto a syllabus.

That’s why the Student Parent Ally Certificate matters. It gives higher ed professionals practical tools and guidance to support student parents better — while helping campuses build a broader circle of people who can advocate for meaningful change.

Katie Butera, Manager of Hawks Care Resource Center at Harper College, shared how the certificate helped her team and we LOVE this reminder: you don’t have to have everything figured out before you start. The certificate is designed to help guide the work already happening on your campus and identify where there’s more work to do.

Standing with student parents has an impact that reaches beyond the classroom. When student parents have the support they need to stay enrolled and complete their degrees, their children, families, campuses, and communities benefit, too.

Student parents are college students too, yet they often go through college alongside the responsibilities of raising a family.

Tomorrow, our Director of Learning & Innovation, Dr. Tia Dolet, is joining Inceptia and Bossier Parish Community College for a conversation about what colleges can do to better support student parents and strengthen enrollment, retention, and completion.

When: Tomorrow, September 22 — 2 PM ET / 1 PM CT

Join “The Student Parent Opportunity: Strategies to Strengthen Enrollment, Retention and Completion” to learn, share ideas, and take practical strategies back to campus.

Student Parent Month is still underway, and today we’re celebrating Mukta Ghorpadey, a Generation Hope mentor whose story is rooted in community and showing up for others.

Mukta’s mother once built a lifelong friendship after meeting another Marathi-speaking woman in an Indian grocery store. That friendship became part of the community that raised Mukta — and shaped her belief that we all have a responsibility to consider what we have and how we can use it to support others.

As a Generation Hope mentor, Mukta brings that belief to her relationship with Scholar Sahdari Simmons. She listens, offers guidance, and when Sahdari faced an emergency, Mukta turned to her own community for support.

Her story is a reminder that mentorship can take many forms, but at its heart is a willingness to show up. 🔗 Read Mukta’s full story and learn more about her mentorship journey this Student Parent Month -- https://www.generationhope.org/our-stories/with-great-power

North Texas, we’re in the final stretch! There’s still time to show up for student parents in Dallas–Fort Worth, but Giving Day is almost over.

Make your gift before the day ends through NorthTexasGivingDay.org and invest in student parents and their children in North Texas. đź”— Link in bio.

There’s still time to invest in student parents this North Texas Giving Day.

As the day comes to a close, we’re making one last ask to our North Texas community: help Generation Hope continue providing student parents in Dallas–Fort Worth with the resources they need to pursue their degrees and achieve greater economic mobility for their families.

In our first year in DFW, 100% of participating Scholars have remained enrolled in the program, and 70% maintained at least a 2.5 GPA last semester. We are currently serving 23 families across the region, with 3 out of 4 Scholars being first-generation college students.

These milestones reflect what can happen when student parents have access to meaningful, consistent support.

Before Giving Day comes to a close, make your gift and help us continue investing in student parents and their children across North Texas -- https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/organization/Generation-Hope-Dallas-Scholar-Program-Office

Today, we’re asking North Texas to invest in student parents.

Generation Hope launched our Dallas–Fort Worth Scholar Program in 2025 — rooted in community voice, equity and the evidence behind two-generation approaches. In our first year, we partnered with 9 local colleges and several community organizations while providing Scholars with tuition assistance, mentoring, mental health resources and career training.

The results are encouraging: 100% of participating Scholars have remained enrolled in the program, and 70% maintained at least a 2.5 GPA last semester. We are currently serving 23 families across the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area, and 3 out of 4 Scholars are first-generation college students.

As Aniyah Johnson, one of our Scholars, shared: “Generation Hope has provided resources and experiences that support me not only as a student pursuing my degree or a mother but overall personal development.”

This North Texas Giving Day, your support helps make that kind of investment possible.

Give today and help student parents pursue their degrees, achieve economic mobility and build brighter futures for their children -- https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/organization/Generation-Hope-Dallas-Scholar-Program-Office

What does it look like for higher education institutions to meaningfully support these students while advancing enrollment, retention, and completion goals?

Next week, Generation Hope’s Director of Learning & Innovation, Dr. Tia Dolet, will join Inceptia and Bossier Parish Community College for “The Student Parent Opportunity: Strategies to Strengthen Enrollment, Retention and Completion.”

The conversation will explore research and trends related to student parents, institutional strategies, and programs, services, and policies that can improve persistence and completion.

As Tia shares in this video, supporting student parents isn’t simply another initiative to add to the list. It’s part of making sure higher education works for the students it was created to serve.

When: September 22, 2026 — 2 PM ET / 1 PM CT
