HOPE FLORIDA VIDEO LIBRARY
We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential and accomplish the American Dream. Our approach is simple yet powerful – we foster community collaboration between the public and private sector, faith-based communities, and nonprofits, to break down traditional community silos. By doing so, we maximize resources and uncover opportunities for good people to help Floridians in need.
WHAT IS HOPE FLORIDA?
SUCCESS IN HOPE
WHAT ARE HOPE NAVIGATORS?
FAITH AND HOPE
HOW DOES HOPE FLORIDA ACCOMPLISH THIS?
Hope Navigators are the secret sauce of the Hope Florida model. These experts work hand-in-hand with individuals to identify their unique and immediate barriers to prosperity and engage all sectors of the community to be a crucial part of the solution. Whether it’s a lack of resources, skills, or opportunities, our Hope Navigators are there to listen and help. Together, Hope Navigators and Floridians identify long-term goals and develop a strategic plan to make success a reality.
But Hope Florida doesn’t stop there – we firmly believe that more government is not always the best solution to the problem. Instead, government is utilized as a meaningful connection point and then gets out of the way. Our partnerships with the private sector, faith-based communities, and nonprofits bridge the gap between Floridians in need and local community resources available to them. Through our collaboration with CarePortal, Hope Navigators can post real-time needs such as a warm meal, a bed for a foster family, or an outstanding utility bill, notifying good people in the community of impactful ways to give help.
Next, we step aside and let the power of the community shine through. At Hope Florida, we’re not just offering a handout – we’re empowering individuals to embrace their full God-given potential.
