Who we are

 Dessyré of Hope aims to empower youth and young adults by strengthening their sense of identity and belief in the future while creating lasting generational impact. We help them achieve hopeful futures, healed hearts, and independent living, equipping them to break cycles of adversity and build stronger futures for themselves, their families, and future generations. Through this work, we seek to shift their trajectory from simply surviving to thriving. 

Dessyré of Hope provides programs, services, and resources for underserved and disadvantaged youth and young adults between the ages of 12 and 25 who may benefit from additional assistance navigating developmental challenges and life transitions, including those who’ve had Adverse Childhood Experiences, as well as individuals aging out of the foster care system, so they can successfully transition to independent, self-sufficient adults.
