Challenging Poverty
Coming to America with no knowledge of the American standard of right or wrong, most refugees arrive without the proper knowledge to gain a job with a sufficient income to provide for their entire family. Those at Hope Community Center work directly with the refugees to try to break through that barrier by teaching English as a Second Language, offering music lessons, and holding sports activities to bring everybody together to share experiences and knowledge.
Building Community
style="float.right">
Through our "Meet Your Neighbor" events, we're introducing everybody to the people that will matter greatly in their lives. Another way we are building community is through our Hope 4 Kids program. Getting the children in the 10th & Page neighborhood to interact with one another builds a bond that can last a lifetime.
Fighting Homelessness
Hope Community Center opens its doors to one on one mentoring to the homeless individual that wants a better life. We provide strong guidance, mentoring, goal setting, and accountability to the right individual. This is a personal one on one outreach. The person chosen is provided with a place to stay as they seek work, education, and a place of their own.
