This Giving Tuesday, we’re turning creativity into connection!

Students in Blue Ridge Hope’s HOPEworks program have poured their hearts into designing original works of art that represent hope, resilience, and growth. HOPEworks is Blue Ridge Hope’s after-school program that provides local middle and high school students with academic support, creative enrichment, mentorship, and a safe, encouraging space to learn and belong. Now it’s your turn to help bring their visions to life!

Here’s how it works:

Vote for your favorite student artwork by donating to their page.
Each dollar equals one vote.
The artwork with the most votes by the end of Giving Tuesday will be turned into a limited-edition Blue Ridge Hope sticker — designed by our very own HOPEworks students!

Your donation doesn’t just help a student win — it fuels the HOPEworks program, ensuring students have access to tutoring, hands-on learning, meaningful mentorship, and a supportive community where they can grow with confidence. Together, we’re helping young people find their voices, build resilience, and thrive.

💙 Every vote makes a difference. Every gift grows hope.

VOTE FOR ONE OF THREE CREATIVE DESIGNS!

DESIGN 1: Hope Brings Us Together

A beautiful reminder that hope grows strongest when we stand side by side. Rainbow stick-figure friends circle around the bold HOPE letters, showing unity, diversity, and the power of connection — all core parts of the HOPEworks program.

When you cast your vote for this design, you’re supporting a place where students come to build friendships, get academic support, feel accepted, and find joy in belonging. Your donation-vote helps HopeWorks continue to be that safe circle for youth in our community.

🌟 One vote strengthens the whole circle.
🌈 Together, we create hope.

DESIGN 2: Hope in Good Hands

A warm and whimsical design that shows a friendly pig holding the word HOPE right in its paws — because sometimes kindness, comfort, and support come from the most unexpected places! This artwork captures exactly what HOPEworks feels like: a safe, welcoming space where students can breathe, learn, laugh, and know they’re cared for.

When you vote for “Hope in Good Hands,” you’re helping more young people receive tutoring, mentorship, creative expression time, and a community that lifts them up.

🐷 Your vote is more than a vote — it’s a hug, a high-five, and a helping hand to local youth.

DESIGN 3: Hope It Works

A super creative design built entirely from tiny moments of teamwork, imagination, and problem-solving! Every letter is alive with little people climbing, building, dreaming, and figuring things out — just like what we do every day in the HOPEWorks after-school program.

When you vote for “Hope It Works,” you’re lifting up our young creators who are learning to build confidence, overcome challenges, and grow through hands-on learning and supportive relationships. Each vote helps HopeWorks continue providing tutoring, mentorship, and a fun, encouraging place where big ideas take shape.

🔧 Every dollar = one vote.
🛠️ Every vote = more hope in action.
