Direct Support Professional

HOPE is a premier, non-profit organization serving both children and adults with special needs and their families, incorporating ideas and concepts that powerfully increase their quality of life.**

One of HOPE's goals is to ensure that all participants that are interested in their community have opportunities and options to be a part of their community. This is done through civic involvement, volunteer works, and belonging to a group where membership holds certain responsibilities. By belonging and participating in the community, people create meaningful relationships within their community, increasing awareness and acceptance, with a goal of reducing needs for paid supports. All of HOPE's participants are working toward meaningful opportunity.

HOPE Agency Des Moines empowers those with special needs to enjoy independent, productive lives.
