The Platform Of Hope

The mission of the Platform of Hope is to enhance the ability of families of color to define and pursue success while building community by connecting them with coaching, services and one another. Together, we amplify the experiences of DC area families and address systemic barriers to success. The Platform of Hope was founded as a pilot initiative in 2018, with an innovative model that provides holistic and self-directed support to cohorts of BIPOC families experiencing economic vulnerability in Washington, DC. Our founding partners- Jubilee Housing, Jubilee JumpStart, Mary’s Center and Sitar Arts Center - have deep roots in Ward 1 across affordable housing, child development, arts, education, health and wellness for DC-area families.
