ABOUT US
Hope Renewed Youth Conference, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not for profit corporation that operates in the
stateof Illinois.
Hope Renewed Youth Conference Project was an annual 3-day fun filled educational event for youth ages 11-18 that took place in the month of June in Peoria, IL. The conference workshops offers teens the opportunity
to learn leadership skills and to reflect on the experience to learn more about themselves. Local professionals conduct the workshops covering a range of topics from peer pressure, teen dating, financial literacy, gang violence, to college preparation.
In 2017 the HRYC board of directors met for our annual meeting and made the tough decision to change the direction and the focus of Hope Renewed Youth conference, Inc.
After providing over 18 scholarships the past nine years, we felt we would be more impactful by discontinuing holding conferences, and investing our money, which would allow us to provide larger scholarship amounts and to support more young people.
We believe that “A person’s today does not dictate their tomorrow,” and we plan to help these young people have greater tomorrows! "
