HOPE is an acronym for Helping Others Progress and Excel. The definition for the word hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen, and according to scripture it does not disappoint (Romans 5:5).

HOPE Learning Center is a non-profit organization that has been established with the primary focus of providing a daily structured educational program for adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD).

This program will be offered free of charge to individuals who qualify. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday 8:30am to 3:00pm, with the exception of holidays. Breakfast and lunch will be included and free transportation provided. Our services will be available to our tri-county area of New Hanover, Brunswick, and Columbus Counties.

Our plan for program development consists of four phases. Your donation will help us to successfully complete each phase.
