About The New Hope Program

The New Hope Program was founded in 1997 by Mr. Jerry O’Keefe.  The New Hope Program has merged with the Boys and Girls Clubs of  the Gulf Coast. With increasing numbers of children experiencing emotional and behavioral problems in the school setting, in after-school programs and in summer programs, it was clear that no one agency or organization could provide all the solutions. Our commitment to South Mississippi with this merger of organizations is to offer solutions, directions and HOPE to our children of South Mississippi, who are experiencing these challenges.
