Supporting Parents in their Scholarship

Maryham AbdelMalak's professional background is in sustainable development and social inclusion, her career spans significant roles including Program Officer at FHI 360 and Research Assistant at The American University in Cairo. We were thrilled to fit her expertise with a seat on the Local Advisory Board for Generation Hope, a nonprofit providing direct two-generation support to teen parents in college and their children. Maryham spoke about Generation Hope's holistic approach to teen scholar support and its resulting graduation and career success to participants at a Business Leaders Breakfast.

Maryham reflects on her service: "I have always believed that no one should have to choose between getting an education and caring for their family. At Generation Hope, that belief comes to life, and being part of that kind of impact is something I'm really proud of."
