Growing Hope graphic-download PDF(March 24, 2011) - Hope Board Unveils Long-Range Plan and Launches Growing Hope Campaign

With unanimous consent the Hope Academy Board of Directors released its long-range plan, with the ultimate goal, Lord-willing, of serving 550 inner city youth by 2017. The report (see right) gives a rationale and plan for inviting the broader community to help us reach the following goals.

Goal 1: Prepare our facility for 550 students (see the Finishing Touches Fund)

Goal 2:
Double our Partner Program to serve 200 more inner city students by 2017

Goal 3: Endow the education of 100 students with a new Legacy Partners Endowment Fund.

Goal 4: Ensure that Hope graduates can afford and navigate college.

As we look to the future, God continues to do more than we could ever ask and imagine. Please pray with us for God’s direction in reaching these goals—and consider how you might be involved.

Finally, join us in trusting Christ as we continue to lift up the future of our educational efforts to Him: “Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” (Psalms 127:1).
