Vision: HOPE worldwide's vision is to bring hope and change to the lives of the world's most poor, sick and suffering.
Mission: HOPE worldwide is an international charity that changes lives by harnessing the compassion and commitment of dedicated staff and volunteers to deliver sustainable, high-impact, community-based services to the poor and needy.
HOPE worldwide was founded in 1991 in response to the call of the Scriptures to serve the poor, sick and suffering throughout the world. The organization began with just three small programs dedicated to bringing hope to vulnerable communities. In Abidjan, Ivory Coast, HOPE worldwide established an HIV/AIDS clinic to meet the critical health needs of a country plagued with disease. A medical clinic in Mexico City, Mexico provided treatment for children without access to quality healthcare.
Children were also the focus of educational outreach programs in Bangalore, India. In collaboration with the International Churches of Christ, HOPE worldwide quickly expanded its reach, building relationships with partner organizations and mobilizing thousands of volunteers. While maintaining its Biblical foundation, HOPE worldwide was compelled to find new and innovative ways to fight poverty, respond to disasters and foster a culture of volunteerism. Today, HOPE worldwide serves more than 1.5 million people annually on every inhabited continent.
HOPE worldwide has many different programs that give many opportunities to serve, volunteer and learn. These opportunities include HOPE Youth Corps, disaster relief programs, HOPE worldwide single corps, and North American chapters.
HOPE Youth Corps is the program that I had the opportunity to serve and intern with this summer. HOPE Youth Corps (HYC) was established in 1994 by HOPE worldwide and is a faith-based, service-learning program designed for high school and college students. Working with HOPE worldwide programs in developing countries and within the United States, HYC participants serve lower-income communities through various outreach efforts and community maintenance programs.
Participants at international HYC sites have served in myriad of different ways. They have bandaged the wounds of leprosy patients, performed street plays about HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis, cared for children infected with HIV, cleaned and repaired orphanages and clinics, donated blood, distributed food and clothing, assisted medical personnel, taught English and math classes, and encouraged the elderly, the sick, and the lonely.
