Volunteer Passion. Discover Purpose. Give H.O.P.E.

Helping Others Prosper through Empowerment (H.O.P.E.) is a program that provides educational and emotional support for children in China’s orphanages. The program actively recruits volunteers who are looking for an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of China’s orphans.

Second Annual Run for H.O.P.E.

On November 8th we held our second annual H.O.P.E. Run/Walk in beautiful Riverside Park. The event was a great success and we want to thank everyone for their support and generosity. We raised over $1500 to send more volunteers and further our mission of helping China's forgotten orphans. We were pleased to see Gladney families, Gladney staff, and other friends of H.O.P.E. out to support our cause.

H.O.P.E. Expands Volunteer Program to Tianjin

This past summer we were able to send our first volunteer to Tianjin Children's Home. Rebecca is a student at Duke University who is fluent in Chinese and is participating with HOPE through Duke's Engage Project. This allows students to do community service internationally while receiving college credit towards their major. Rebecca kept a blog of her experience and we are very proud of all that she has accomplished.

Fulfilling our Mission
Our volunteers are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children, but often it is the children who make an impact on them.
Volunteer Trip to Shanghai
Four H.O.P.E. volunteers traveled to Shanghai, China and returned with a sense of accomplishment and inspirational stories about their experience and the children of Shanghai Children's Home.

Foundation of H.O.P.E.

H.O.P.E. operates as part of the China Initiative, a program of the Gladney Center for Adoption.

Did You Know ...

When a child reaches the age of only six years old they are considered special needs which greatly reduces their chances of being adopted.
