Join the HOPE Corps!

Many of us thought once upon a time of joining the Peace Corps, but never got a chance to do so. Now, a new opportunity offers you the chance to serve in the HOPE Corps! Become a member of the HOPE (Helping Out Of Poverty For Ever) Corps, and help combat poverty in Central and Northern Arizona. You can assist motivated individuals to realize their goals and to leave behind a life of uncertainty for a life of security, stability and satisfaction. 

Cathy and Pete Bergmann and Jeff Miks from St. Andrew parish in Chandler, and Laure Niehaus from St. Paul in Phoenix joined the HOPE Corps, and became qualified instructors to teach financial literacy. A group of women in Catholic Charities DIGNITY program just graduated from their four weeks of training!  If you would like to become a Financial Literacy instructor, sign up immediately for Train-the-Trainer sessions, SEPTEMBER 18 and 19 at multiple locations of CATHOLIC CHARITIES!

Other members of the HOPE Corps are preparing to facilitate 13 sessions of Getting Ahead classes September through December, which will prepare participants to enter a Circle of Support. Want to learn more about facilitating Getting Ahead classes in Phoenix or Prescott? Call us right away to apply to join that team. Want to be part of a Circle of Support in the New Year? Apply for the HOPE Corps and hop aboard!
