Hope House Colorado empowers parenting teen moms to strive for personal and economic self-sufficiency, resulting in a healthy future for them and for their children.  Hope House Colorado is committed to transforming the lives of teen moms around the world.

Hope House provides free self-sufficiency programs to parenting teen moms in three key areas. The Empower Program provides opportunities for personal, educational, and economic self-sufficiency for teen moms. The Housing Support Program provides metro-Denver’s only Residential Program for teen moms and additional housing support through various partnerships. The Early Learning & School Age Program focuses on literacy and social-emotional development for the children of Hope House teen moms. All programs are designed to transform the lives of two generations at Hope House.

Hope House Colorado relies on the teamwork of staff and volunteers to empower parenting teen moms as they work toward self-sufficiency. Volunteers provide their talents, skills, and time to partner with Hope House in creating a safe, welcoming learning environment for our teen moms and their children. Engaged volunteers provide varied perspectives and experiences and are passionate ambassadors for our cause. Most importantly, by sharing a part of their lives, our volunteers bless our staff, our teen moms and their kids.

Potential volunteer opportunities include: Administrative Support Team; Early Learning Team; Events Team; Facilities Team; Hope Boutique Team; Kitchen Team; Residential Team; Therapy Dog Team; Tutoring Team; Vehicle Maintenance Team.

Times for each opportunity/event differ.

We fully believe that the best volunteers are those who can take ownership of an area in which they are skilled and passionate. If you have a specific skill set and would like to support Hope House in a way not listed here, please contact us. We want to get you plugged into the area that best suits you!
