Sponsor a college or career bound student.

When you think about homelessness, you might not immediately picture a high school senior, a college student, or a young adult diving into their career. But in fact, thousands of youth and young adults experience homelessness and housing insecurity every year.

That's why Circle of Hope launched its Get Set program in 2019 to provide clothing, hygiene products, and dorm essentials to college and career bound students. Having first partnered with Framingham State University, we quickly expanded the program, now providing Get Set packages to eight of our 35 current partner programs.
