“During their junior year at Barrington High School, twin sisters Ashley and Courtney Quigley (BHS ‘14) started a non-profit organization called Hope’s In. Based in Barrington, the organization aims to empower impoverished families living in Guatemala City. 

Their passion for helping others began at the age of 12 when they volunteered to build playgrounds in Guatemala. “Our family has been doing international service work since we were 10 years old, so we developed a strong passion for serving and empowering others throughout our childhood,” the sisters said.
