CHRIST-CENTERED FOUNDATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Christ is our foundation and is the base of our three pillars. Everything throughout all the other pillars filters through Biblical principles.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Hope’s Path teaches essential life skills for independent living, such as home maintenance & cooking. We also assist in obtaining essential documents such as driver’s licenses, birth certificates, social security cards, etc.
CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Hope’s Path encourages getting an education that launches young adults into a sustainable career, whether that be through a trade school or college. We also help with resume writing, interviewing skills, and job placement.
FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT
We teach basic financial skills, such as budgeting, how to save, how to buy a car, and how to plan for the future.
Be a Mentor
"I was extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to mentor Jacob. He is an amazing young man that has made excellent progress toward his goals over the past year and a half. Being part of his 'village' has been an honor and very rewarding, including cheering him on with his successes such as learning a new trade (window installer).
Along the way, we had great fun getting to know each other and enjoying mutual interests such as nerding out over the rocks & minerals at the Natural History Museum. We have all had our own mentors along our path that helped guide us and I am very appreciative for having had this opportunity to walk alongside Jacob" -Ed Feragen, Hope’s Path Mentor |
