What Is Project HOPE?
Project HOPE is a youth-organized and youth-led group designed to address life skills issues to enable and empower youth to better prepare themselves for attainment of educational, vocational and self-actualization goals.
Our group is based upon open dialogue by the attendees of each session. The purpose is to allow the youth to share ideas, concerns and opinions in a safe, confidential and non-confrontational setting. We focus on topics that you can relate to, like self-esteem, depression and addictions because we know how much it means to have someone to talk to!
No advice of a medical, psychological or theological nature will be offered. This is about you, your life and your decisions. We are here to help!
