House of Hope York, PA is a non-profit organization that brings hope, healing and restoration to hurting teens and their families through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Our purpose is to be a model of Christ’s love by providing counseling, academic education, life skills and spiritual guidance.

• Family Counseling & Education
  We do not just mentor the girls who stay at House of Hope. We recognize that healthy adults come from healthy families and REQUIRE all families to be involved in the process with the ultimate goal of reuniting the family. This means that parents are required to attend weekly parenting classes, weekly counseling (individual, marital, and/or familial), and special events with their children as part of the program.

• Individual Counseling
  Our counseling program is incredibly unique and individualized. Each girl goes through six phases of counseling, in which the teen and the family have both separate and combined counseling sessions. The counseling is intensive and involves action outside of the counseling room. Counselors work with the House moms and teachers to ensure that the issues being addressed in counseling are also being addressed properly by all of the staff. By fully immersing the girls in an environment that promotes healing and directly addresses negative thought and behavior patterns, the girls are able to experience a mindset shift that the ends self-destructive behavior.

• Life Skills Education
  We address a multitude of common issues in unhealthy family situations while the girls are living at the House. Many of the girls that come here aren’t equipped with basic life skills, from grooming, to cooking and cleaning. While living at the House, the girls are required to learn these basic life skills as part of the program. Each girl is assessed and given a unique and individualized plan to address any gaps in life skills needed to be independent and productive.

• Academic Education
  Our educational program is a key part of the success of our girls. Many of the girls that come through here were suffering from poor grades and lack of school attendance that require an individualized educational plan. Our on-site school “Hope Academy”, registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, provides the teens education using the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum. Because of the small group setting, Hope Academy is able to provide each student with the attention and encouragement needed to grow and prepare them to be successful students. By providing this individualized approach, we help our girls be effective in their scholarly endeavors now and in the future.

• Spiritual Education
  One of the biggest things that sets House of Hope apart and an attribute to our success, is our recognition and treatment of spiritual issues. While we take in girls and families from all walks of life, our ideals and principles are Biblically based. By cultivating a healthy and meaningful spiritual life, the girls are able to overcome many of their fears and issues.
