In 2021 The GreenHouse launched a GreenHouse Graduate Scholarship fund, made possible by generous support by a few faithful, long-term partners. This scholarship will be awarded each year to youth that grew up at The GreenHouse and have gone on to college or vocational schools. GreenHouse grads, we are honored to walk with you long-term as you pursue your dreams!

As for my long term dream, I want to get my degree in social work and hopefully become a professional soccer player, and give back to the community and people that have given me so much. This next step in my education is crucial for my journey."

Rey Duque
STUDYING electrical engineering at Sacramento State
"When you help youth with their current problems, they will remember what you did and aspire to give back. This is exactly how I feel as a senior in high school, hoping to give back to The GreenHouse. I see myself investing in youth by being a volunteer... to see them rise and succeed in whatever the future may hold for them."
Tim bellegarde
STUDYING at Sacramento City college
"I see myself investing in the future by letting kids know to be yourself, go for your dreams and don't let anyone define who you are. If I come back from college and have something to show, I'll tell them to go forward and never look back, and teach them things they need to know like self respect."
