How does Common Hope work?
Once a family forms a partnership with us, we require them to participate in their own development process—beginning with their child staying in school. We believe that their participation in the process preserves dignity and builds ownership. With help from Common Hope’s social workers, the family identifies their challenges and sets goals for themselves. The goals might include building a new house, taking a literacy class, getting their family dental check-ups, and many more possibilities. The social worker then helps the individual family members connect with the right program or activity so that they can begin achieving those goals and improving their lives.
