The mission of the organization
HYPE’s mission is to promote community sustainability by empowering the youth-led coalition of tomorrow. Through a myriad of projects, the HYPE team is spearheading a path toward a brighter future. HYPE’s projects fall under 4 main pillars, which serve as the guiding principles that drive the progress of our organization. The pillars are Healthcare, Youth, Poverty, and Education, which compose the letters of the acronym, HYPE.
The first pillar is Healthcare, which was primarily active during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Healthcare projects focus on alleviating the strain placed on our frontline healthcare professionals, especially by the rapid influx of COVID-19 patients. Our initiatives have focused on providing direct aid to healthcare workers, as well as promoting healthy practices that empower youth and impoverished citizens across the globe.
The third pillar is Poverty, which prioritizes breaking cycles of intergenerational poverty that make it impossible for families to ascend the social ladder. By providing direct assistance to families in need, we enable increased quality of life, while also looking towards long-run benefits that may break the shackles of poverty that restrain them.
Finally, the fourth pillar is Education, which operates under a common but powerful philosophy: if you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime. By arming youth with the skills they need to become changemakers, we aim to open the door to a brighter future. In partnership with organizations at the United Nations and Georgia Department of Education, our education initiatives have scaled globally, impacting thousands
