Our mission is to end youth homelessness and dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline by providing equitable, culturally responsive, and holistic support services—using person-centered approaches and the transformative power of healing through art—to uplift our most at-risk youth, ages 12 to 26

 

 

Abundance of Hope Center (AofH) is a family-led nonprofit founded in 2008 by African American women and other historically marginalized leaders. Rooted in lived experience, AofH was created in response to the growing number of youth—particularly youth of color and LGBTQIA+ individuals—falling through systemic gaps in care and support.

Our team reflects the communities we serve, with staff who have overcome many of the same challenges faced by at-risk youth today. We are committed to advancing equity through inclusive policies, trauma-informed practices, and culturally responsive programming that centers youth voice and resilience.
