The Platform of Hope
walks alongside DC families with one-on-one coaching, a caring community, and connections to the resources they need to reach the goals they set for themselves. Since 2018, we have served more than 200 families, and today we partner with 40 active families across the city.
Recipe for Hope: Monday, November 9
Join us at The Festival Center from 6:00 to 8:30 PM for an evening of good food, family stories, and celebration. Together, we’re raising $13,000 to support families across DC as they build stability and pursue the futures they’ve defined for themselves.
How We Walk with Families
Every family sets its own goals. We bring the support, the people, and the open doors to help them get there.
Coaching. Monthly one-on-one time with a Family Coach to set goals in housing, education, finances, health, and more, and to keep moving toward them.
Community. Family gatherings where parents and kids share meals, learn together, and build the kind of support network that lasts.
Connections. Faster access to trusted partners for health care, housing, financial coaching, education, and the arts.
Where We Are Today
40 active families are walking with us today, each working toward goals they set for themselves.
More than 200 families have been part of Platform of Hope since our first cohort in 2018.
