About This Cause
Inspired by Alexander Hamilton’s legacy of leadership through service, Alexander Hamilton Scholars (AHS) empowers high-achieving, underserved young leaders to thrive in college and beyond. We envision a community of ethical leaders who break barriers to build an equitable society. Our five-year program provides underserved students with a comprehensive network of support and guidance as they transition from high school to college, and college to whatever those next steps are, be it career, gap year, or grad school. Our Core Values: Authenticity: Every individual’s intersecting identities are respected and celebrated. All scholars are encouraged to bring their full selves to our spaces; we strive to create and maintain a safe, brave, compassionate, and inclusive community. Equity: Opportunities that empower underserved students will further our collective pursuit of a more just and humane world. We acknowledge that we operate within oppressive systems that disproportionately impact our scholars; we strive to intentionally disrupt these systems. Growth: We are always in the process of becoming; by engaging in lifelong learning and reflection, our community members strive to be the best version of themselves. Scholars fulfill their personal potential through intentional leadership, mentorship, curiosity, and empowerment. Integrity: Progress is made through mutual accountability to our shared values and vision for an equitable society. We strive to remain fair, transparent, and honest in collaboration with community direction and goals. Recognition: We acknowledge and embrace the stories, experiences, and heritage of our community to appreciate the impact of these histories. We collectively heal from past trauma as we shape our own futures. Service: An ongoing commitment to the broader community allows us to contribute to a cycle of support, while advocating for our own care and mental health. By lifting each other up, we create space and capacity to address community needs and advance future generations. Unity: Connection through our similarities allows us to appreciate different lived experiences and honors all voices within our community. We strive to foster community-based leadership through elevating individual strengths.
