Esperanza means "hope" in Spanish, and hope is exactly what Esperanza, Inc. has generated in the lives of students for more than 35 years. Since 1983, thousands of Greater Cleveland-area students have received tutoring, leadership development, technology training, mentoring, college and career counseling, and scholarship assistance through Esperanza's services. We serve Hispanic students in schools large and small, public and parochial, inner-city, and suburban.
