Our Programs
The HOPE Program
Our Cleveland-based team mentoring program designed by trauma professionals for youth who have been impacted by foster care. We recruit a team of volunteers from diverse backgrounds and we let youth choose who is on their team. We train youth and volunteers then we bring them together to help create friendship and support that encourages youth to reach for their dreams. Volunteers meet weekly for the first year with youth, and then continue well past the first year based on the friendships that have been built. We have over 50 Teams that meet all around Cleveland. We are always looking for more volunteers to join us.
In 2021, we will launch a two year pilot program in Lorain County with the support of the Mental Health, Addictions and Recovery Services board. We will serve youth 18-25 years of age through the Ohio Healthy Transitions Project for youth who are “systems involved”.
