OUR MISSION

Ripples of Hope is a non-profit organization which brings families, communities and leaders together with the understanding that we are more alike than we are different. We strive to inspire and support the next generation of leaders by helping young people discover their leadership potential while leading service teams. By identifying leaders, Ripples becomes a catalyst for propelling communities forward thus planting the seeds for greater change. 

We maintain a philosophy of Philanthropy in Action by collaborating with local non-profits and community leaders who express a desire to build upon their existing strengths and are empowered to make a difference in their own communities.  

Through partnerships, transformational and sustainable service projects are developed then completed by Ripples families working side-by-side with community residents and leaders. By building bridges between families and communities, we cultivate a foundation for continued partnership, discussion, action, and a lifetime of service.

Art

We believe in the power of the arts as a way to engage communities, share cultures and create storytellers.

Education

Education should be a right not a privilege. Ripples is committed to working with our community partners to develop access to educational programming, personal development and creating scholarships to close the gap for vocational or higher education opportunities.

Service

We uphold a philosophy of philanthropy in action through transformative service. Our work is rooted in the community where service becomes the common ground for mutual understanding and shared humanity.
