“The Hope Station Opportunity Area Council seeks to lift up the entire neighborhood by tackling our most difficult problems through education, technology, job development and most importantly, teaching our children to become leaders by learning to respect themselves and others.”
Hope Station embodies social sustainability in its emphasis on the need to start with children in building a stronger, cohesive community. Its programs promote the values of self-esteem, service, and respect for others that will be carried through the community from generation to generation. Hope Station also functions in an economic sense, building community capital and offering counsel to community members who are seeking work, the idea being that opportunities for employment begin with a foundation of confidence and community support.
