Our dedicated team of 10 staff (soon expanding to 20+) collaborates with nearly 1,000 annual Orlando-area volunteers to create meaningful impact amid limited resources, as our reach expands rapidly.

Hopetown will be a transformative inclusive community where adults with disabilities can live, work, and play, complete with residences, job opportunities, and comprehensive family support.
