ABOUT HOPE IN THE CITIES

Mission

"To create just and inclusive communities through reconciliation among racial, ethnic and religious groups based on personal and institutional transformation."

For nearly 20 years, Hope in the Cities has supported citizens working to build more just and inclusive communities by creating conditions of trust where people of different racial and social backgrounds, or divergent political or religious views, are empowered  to speak honestly about their experiences and find common interests where once there were divides. 

In the 1993 Call to Community, Hope in the Cities urged citizens to reach out across the chaos of competing identities and interests to build a new American community honoring diversity and offering equal opportunity for all.

Hope in the Cities has provided consultation and training for community leaders in cities across America as well as Europe, Australia, South Africa, Brazil and India.
