Welcome to Sanctuary of Hope (SOH)! We are a youth development, human service, and leadership development organization that is dedicated to serving Transition Age Youth, ages 16-25. Our primary mission is to provide a caring and multicultural approach to services that will help young people become self-sufficient and lead prosperous lives. Our services include general counseling and therapy, life coaching, mentoring, housing resources, education and employment support, emergency services, family strengthening, and financial assistance for under-resourced youth who are low-income, child welfare or justice impacted, housing or economic insecure, expectant and parenting, domestic and trafficking survivors, and/or at-promise. Beyond our direct services, we provide leadership development through our social justice programs centered on civic engagement, policy and advocacy, and liberation.

Tales of Resilience

The Rose That Grew From Concrete
Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature’s law is wrong, it
learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
–Tupac Shakur

Last year during Black History Month, Sanctuary of Hope launched our Tales of Resilience. These short tales by young people elevating themselves are meant to inspire and showcase practices that produce positive outcomes.

We believe that young people are our greatest assets. Their resilient efforts are blossoming through concrete. Our first Tales of Resilience is by Nathaniel, an amazing young man, who is taking steps to build a better future for himself. Check out other tales on SOH’s YouTube Channel.
