FLOC met with Boys Hope Girls Hope in April 2011 at the Regatta Cafe and Lido Theater in Newport Beach. Boys Hope Girls Hope Executive Director Robin Sinclair shared her passion for the organization and the work they do to impact the lives of at risk youth. Following the meeting, FLOCers piled into Lido Theater to watch the inspirational movie “Soul Surfer.” To say the least, it was a major tear jerker. FLOC raised $850 for BHGH at the event which will go towards a backyard refurbish, bench and dinner party with members of BHGH and FLOCers.
“We provide hope in the form of residential, stable, loving environments for “stars,” teens with tremendous potential. We provide the opportunity of an incredible education and our goal is to get these kids to college and to break the cycle of poverty for their families.” Robin Sinclair Boys Hope Girls Hope Executive Director

Mission/Vision
Boys Hope Girls Hope helps academically capable and motivated children-in-need to meet their full potential and become men and women for others by providing value-centered, family-like homes, opportunities and education through college.
Father Paul Sheridan, SJ, an educator in St. Louis, decided that he’d seen the promise of too many young lives extinguished by negative factors like overcrowded and underfunded schools; families distressed by poverty, illness, divorce, and death; and neighborhoods shattered by drugs and violence.
He founded a program with a unique new approach to helping children reach their potential. A holistic, whole-person, “arms-around” approach. And he called it Boys Hope.
