Send Urban Youth to Summer Camp!

Urban Hope is raising up generations of young heroes - who are beating the odds by the grace of God - through creating safe places in our neighborhood to grow together into wholeness.

Urban Hope runs a summer camp for inner-city youth living in the Walltown neighborhood in Durham, NC. Every year, some of the youth would love to come to camp but need financial assistance.

Be a part of investing in the lives of these talented young people: donate today to the camp scholarship fund!

Here's how you can join us:
1) Donate online OR mail a check (preferred method). Make the check out to "The Volunteer Center of Durham - Great Human Race" with "Urban Hope" written on the memo line. Mail it to:

Urban Hope
1902 Perry St.
Durham, NC 27705

2) Become an Urban Hope advocate! Start your own fundraising page (click on the orange "be a fundraiser" button under the "make a donation" section) and raise money for Urban Hope. Tell your co-workers, friends and family about Urban Hope.

3) Walk with us! Join us on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 8:30 am at the Northgate Mall to walk with Urban Hope staff, youth, volunteers and friends. Meet the "Urban Hope family" and walk through the Walltown neighborhood!
