Center of Hope Family Services (COHFS) is a leading voice for removing barriers to achievement through culturally relevant and innovative programs and services that close the opportunity gap for those in need. By increasing access to high quality education, mental wellness services, job readiness, court advocacy, and family support, COHFS elevates life outcomes for low-wealth and marginalized children and adults.
COHFS is a family led 501(c)-3 not-for-profit organization that provides evidence based and culturally responsive programs and services for youth and adults. Our program offerings address widening education, criminal justice, and income gaps for individuals and communities who have been labeled “at-risk” or “in-need,” but who have often been treated as a commodity or a billable service. With a presence in the community for 25 years, COHFS fosters a culture that uplifts employees and customers, who work in partnership, to create innovative solutions that close gaps in criminal justice involvement and facilitate mental well-being, financial thriving and access to a quality education. Our focus is on programs with a measurable impact and real-world results.
