OUR MISSION
We are committed to providing children and
adults with disabilities and their families with a
life-changing path to greater independence: a
nurturing community, groundbreaking programs,
meaningful opportunities, and passionate
advocacy that free them to grow and thrive.
OUR VISION
We strive for a world where disabled individuals and their families are not
held back—where they have all the resources and support they need to
pursue hopeful, purposeful lives on their own terms.
HOW WE SERVE
HOPe operates out of a 11,000 sq. ft. home-like facility located on the
campus of Stonehill College in Easton, MA. It runs a variety of programs
for children and adults, including day programs, social & recreational
programs, and overnight respite. HOPe provides participants with
opportunities to engage in the greater community, build life skills,
develop friendships, and create lasting joyous memories, all while
providing their caretakers with a much-needed break so they can tend
to their health, marriage, and the well-being of the entire family. Our core
belief is that a nurturing environment paired with skilled and dedicated
staff can inspire in children and adults an appreciation of their abilities
and a determination to exceed the expectations of their disabilities.
