York High School Students Raising Money for Common Hope

Join York students in supporting Common Hope, an organization that is changing lives in Guatemala by "fighting poverty with diplomas"!

Hello, neighbors!

Students in the Spanish Club and Spanish classes at York High School are working to raise money for a charity called Common Hope, and we need your help! Common Hope is helping families and communities in Guatemala to escape the cycle of poverty there, reach their full potential, and build better lives for themselves and their posterity. The organization utilizes a holistic model (at the heart of which is education) to attack poverty at its roots and have a sustainable impact. Since it began in 1986, Common Hope has helped thousands of students in Guatemala graduate from high school and become catalysts for change in their communities.

We at York are extremely excited to help students and families who do not have as many opportunities as we do achieve success. Please donate to and/or share our crowdfunding campaign if you are able to. Donations will be accepted through Friday, December 14th. Common Hope is a registered nonprofit and all contributions are 100% tax-deductible. Thank you so much for your support!
