Hope House Home for Children exists to provide a home for children between the ages of six and eighteen [and those who turn eighteen prior to or during their senior year in HS] who are emotionally impaired, developmentally
disabled, and/or come from dysfunctional families. Hope House serves children from all areas of the United States, though the vast majority come from the western United States. Children from other countries may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Hope House provides a home for those young people who may have
"fallen through the cracks" of other governmental and/or private agencies.
Our mission at Hope House is to provide a home-like family atmosphere where, through love, structured activities, appropriate discipline, and educational and vocational opportunities, young people can reach their fullest potential.
Hope House will strive to ensure that all residents are provided with appropriate, state approved and accredited educational, vocational, and other training opportunities. Where appropriate, Hope House residents may also receive training at a state licensed Developmental Disabilities Training Center.
Hope
House will strive to ensure that the emotional and social needs of all residents are met. To this end, Hope House contracts with appropriate psychiatric, psychological, social work, and counseling professionals for all residents needing and/or requesting these services. Hope House also provides activities and outings
designed to provide for the development of appropriate social skills.
Hope House will strive to meet the spiritual needs of all residents. Hope House is a non-denominational Christian organization. It's staff strive to live the principles of love and brotherhood found in scripture. Hope House will not force
any resident to make religious commitments, however, we will encourage them, and aid them [if requested] to find peace and forgiveness through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Hope House has a chaplaincy service available to all residents and staff to provide religious instruction, counsel, and nurture.
Our goal is to return young people to their families where appropriate, and to the world at large, who are able to interact appropriately with their peers and those in authority, provide for their own economic needs, and to be successful in the pursuit of their personal goals and ambitions. |
