Ambassadors of Hope
The Ambassadors of Hope is a networking group for local business- and socially-minded people. Our aim is to raise awareness about Place of Hope and the dramatic difference it is making in so many foster youths’ lives, while at the same time, promoting business and social connections with one another. We are half-way to our goal of 100 members! We encourage everyone to come and check it out.
