East Nashville Hope Exchange (ENHE) is a nonprofit organization with the mission of strengthening literacy of at-risk children in East Nashville. ENHE provides a supportive, structured and safe environment where children can learn and have fun. We work with children from schools in the Stratford and Maplewood clusters. East Nashville Hope Exchange is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee and began as a community outreach program of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church. In 2010, it became an independent 501(c)(3) organization.

While East Nashville Hope Exchange exists to serve families and students of all races, ethnicities, and countries of origin, 93% of the families and students that take part in our literacy program each year are Black. We affirm wholeheartedly that Black lives matter, and that the work of literacy goes beyond teaching children to read and extends to teaching them to comprehend the world around them and empower them to make it better. This is why we have always had an organizational commitment to the truth that literacy is justice—that literacy is a justice issue that affects all other areas of life.
