CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF HOPE

Check out this video celebrating our 40th year as an organization, and what we have in store for the future!

A Proven Model

Launching careers

FY'25 HOPE participants achieved an 85% program completion rate.

Raising wages

Our graduates earned a collective $19.2 million in wages in FY'25.

Greening communities

Last year, HOPE participants conducted 400+ green interventions across NYC through our horticulture efforts.

When I applied for an apprenticeship at a startup that helps young adults like me enter the tech field, the HOPE staff were there for me. They helped me with my resume and practiced interviews with me. They also asked if I needed any attire for working in a corporate environment.
