As part of a meaningful reflection activity, our high school seniors were asked to think back to their freshman-year selves and share just two or three words of advice, encouragement, or wisdom. ⭐️📚

Their responses carried powerful messages shaped by four years of growth, challenges, achievements, and self-discovery. From reminders to "be confident" and "be yourself" to words like "lock in" and "stay focused," the project highlighted how much our students have learned throughout their high school journey. 💙

While many responses were thoughtful and inspiring, the activity also allowed our seniors' playful sides to shine.
Their fun, silly personalities came through in some of their advice, bringing laughter and joy to the experience and serving as a reminder of the friendships, memories, and spirit that made their high school years so special. It served as a thoughtful celebration of their experiences while offering inspiration to younger students who are just beginning their own path. 😎

This year’s Build Love celebration focused on our vital goal of improving literacy and academic excellence for our scholars. Under the leadership of CEO Marina Cofield, we gathered to honor the brilliance of our community, highlighted by Junot Díaz receiving the James Baldwin Award.
We are so deeply grateful to everyone who participated and made the night a success. Because you believe in our students, we raised $1.8 million to fuel our mission! 💰

The state of literacy amongst our youth is the state of our future.
As part of our Build Love 2026 initiative, EHTP highlighted the localized impact of our work around this topic. The data is clear: the literacy gap is a systemic hurdle facing America's youth. Our response? A dual-pillar approach of academic rigor and deep community support.

In this video, hear directly from EHTP leadership on why literacy is the cornerstone of our 2026 goals. You’ll also see raw interviews with the scholars who are defying the odds every day. We aren't just teaching kids to read; we are ensuring our scholars are fully prepared to lead the world they inherit.
