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.
