At Hope Starts Here, we believe every young person deserves not only a safe home, but also the tools, confidence, and support to build a brighter future. Our programs are designed to meet youth where they are and help them thrive.
Care Management
Every student is paired with a dedicated care manager who helps them navigate school, health, and life challenges. Care managers provide personalized guidance, connecting youth with resources and walking alongside them every step of the way.
Mentorship
Positive, consistent relationships are at the heart of success. Each student is matched with mentors who offer encouragement, model healthy relationships, and help build self-confidence. Mentors become trusted allies and role models for life.
Dale Carnegie Confidence Training
Through a partnership with Dale Carnegie Training, our youth will participate in a world-renowned program that builds communication skills, leadership, and self-confidence. This hands-on training empowers students to believe in themselves, speak with courage, and discover their own inner hope.
Housing & Stability
We provide a safe, welcoming home — not just a shelter. In our program, youth live in a supportive environment that feels like family. They share meals, learn life skills, and experience the security of having a place to truly belong.
Education & Career Support
Our team ensures each student is on track to graduate high school and pursue further education or career opportunities. From tutoring and ACT prep to job shadowing and internships, we equip youth with the tools they need to succeed.
✨ Together, these programs create more than safety. They create hope, belonging, and a future filled with possibilities.
