Services and Supports Offered at Hope
Reaching Out to Families
Hope strives to be responsive to families and individuals in their requests for new services and supports. To meet the ever growing desire of people to have more inclusive recreational opportunities, Hope has focused its efforts on expanding programs in this area throughout its regions.
A significant addition to the Anchorage region was the opening of The Discovery Center at Hope in Anchorage in November of 2010. This will be the hub of all recreational and educational programs in this region. Our goal is to provide inclusive activities and classes for all ages and abilities at times requested by families. There is already a new after school program for children and teen, in addition to activities on Saturdays.
The Discover Center also houses Hope Studios, a collaborative art studio, which opened in 2008; Actabilities an inclusive theatre troupe; and the Media Center for pursing educational and employment opportunities in the production of all media.

Dependent upon the person’s age, staff will work with the family, advocates or other appropriate people to help find housing, develop in-home assistance, secure employment or develop community activities that are meaningful and important to the person supported. Living a full life is the ultimate goal.
