Our Program

Hope’s Path is a structured residential program with daily oversight and guidance from Hope’s Path staff, mentors, and volunteers.  It is the responsibility of each young man (intern) to plan and work on their goals while playing a role in the greater community.

​Each intern in the program will be on a different and unique path; however, they will respect, care for, and encourage each other along the way.  Typically, an intern will be in our program for about two years.  However, we know that each young man is different, and therefore, our program does not have a hard-fixed timeline; rather, we monitor each intern’s development towards their goals as benchmarks.

Hope’s Path is a residential program for young men ages 18-28 who have aged out of foster care or are experiencing homelessness.

We focus on THREE main pillars of development based on a Christian Foundation!

Personal Development

At Hope’s Path, we prepare young men for independent living by teaching practical life skills like home maintenance and cooking, while also helping them secure vital personal documents such as driver’s licenses, birth certificates, and Social Security cards.

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.

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.
