Our Mission
Our Programs
Programs For Children & Teens
We serve children and young adults ages 8-21 through high-quality programming that not only enriches their lives and expands their horizons, but also offers parents a well-deserved break from caregiving.
Programs For Adults
We offer adults the chance to grow independently, socialize with peers and participate in the local community. Our unique location on the beautiful Stonehill College campus gives us unlimited opportunities to enrichment the lives of our adults.

Gala & Auction
Each spring, HOPe holds an annual Gala & Auction to bring our community together in celebration and support of our mission and families. This special event provides for 30% of the charitable giving needed to run HOPe's programs on an annual basis.
Annual Campaign
Many of our programs are heavily subsidized by charitable contributions so that families can obtain support without a heavy financial burden. HOPe's Annual Campaign allows us to continue to provide high-quality programs for our children and adults by supporting day-to-day expenses while allowing us to keep program fees low.
