Welcome To Ripples
Ripples of Hope is a non-profit organization which engages diverse groups of families in local and global service journeys. We collaborate with local non-profits and community leaders who express a desire to build upon their existing strengths and are empowered to make a difference in their own communities. Through service, Ripples families delve into the heart of communities by working side-by-side with community residents and leaders on transformational and sustainable service projects. By building bridges between families and communities, we cultivate the foundation for continued partnership, discussion, and action and a lifetime of service...
What We Do
Ripples of Hope organizes and facilitates local and global service journeys for families and engage in projects to empower local communities. The goal is for families to experience life in a community different from their own and to partner with people from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. We build bridges between the families and the communities we serve through projects, such as revitatlizing community spaces, mentoring children and planting community gardens. By working alongside community residents, Ripples volunteers learn about critical issues facing economically challenged communities and, at the same time, learn about themselves. Participants, including young children, are encouraged to share their stories with the group. Through service and other team building activities, we inspire families to take further action concerning issues facing local communities as well as communities across the globe. Philanthropy in action.
