People give back in some many ways at Hope. Youth and adults from the neighborhood surrounding Hope are involved in programs, parent opportunities, tenant gatherings, serving as tutors for youth, and much more. Others come from beyond this community, but understand the importance of the change and opportunity happening here so give of their time. Six days a week tutors help adult students learn English. Others work with youth or come as groups to paint rooms or weed gardens.

Several volunteers come from service programs like AmeriCorps VISTA and St. Joseph the Worker and make full-time, year-long commitments to Hope. In May we honored the commitment of our wonderful volunteers. View the photo gallery of this annual celebration.

Together, their contributions exceed our expectations and grow our resources.

Fatima

a young leader

A seventh grader at Folwell Middle School, Fatima has been involved in Hope’s Youth in the City mentoring program every Saturday since she moved to Hope over 3 years ago.

“Saturdays are when I see my good friends from the neighborhood,” she explains, “because my school is far away.” She continues to express what she enjoys about living at Hope, “People are interactive – they talk to each other. It’s nice.”

Fatima especially likes history, math and science. She is on the volleyball team at school and does community service through the YMCA. She recently began learning about documentary filmmaking in Hope’s mentoring program.
