Hope Center at Pullen

Hope Center at Pullen Connecting young people aging out of foster care in Wake County to the housing,jobs and support network they need for a successful transition to adulthood.

The Hope Center at Pullen empowers emerging adults adults who are transitioning out of foster care in Wake County with the support and connections needed for a safe and stable adulthood. Most teenagers can stay plugged into the resources they need to thrive as they transition to adulthood, such as housing and financial security. They are powered through their relationships with their families. But

many young people leaving foster care are suddenly unplugged from all networks of support. The Hope Center at Pullen ensures all our young people leaving foster care can stay plugged in to the resources and supports they need to achieve a safe and stable adulthood. Our work begins in our Teen Programs, where we build relationships through our tutoring, mentoring, internships and life skills programs. Our work continues when many of these same youth enter our Transition Program. Our Transition Program helps former foster youth achieve & maintain safe, stable housing and guides participants as they work towards their self-sufficiency goals.

✨One week later and we are still on cloud sweet 16! ✨
We are blown away by the generosity and community that we witnessed last week at Raising Hope Sweet 16 and we are so excited to announce that it was a momentous Raising Hope in more than one way…

👏🏻 We welcomed more people to the event than ever before (over 200!)
🫶🏻 We raised a record-breaking total of OVER $125,000!!!

From the fun and foretelling Sweet 16 superlatives shared for donations, to the auctioning of a $20 bill signed by our youth, to the standing ovation for our keynote speaker, Zykeria, this Raising Hope was full of so many memorable moments.
With you in our corner, our foster youth and former foster youth are truly ‘Most Likely to Succeed’!
THANK YOU to our sponsors, attendees, in-kind donors, Raising Hope committee members, board members, emcee , auctioneer Ben Farrell, and our indomitable staff for making this event such a success!

Yesterday we had a staff meeting at Hope Village at Method where we oohed and aahed over the beautiful transformation to the common space, office, outdoor areas, and one of the apartments, all by A Lotta Love! We felt relaxed and rejuvenated as we worked through our agenda and we are certain that this makeover will bring comfort and inspiration to the youth at Hope Village. Next up by A Lotta Love at Hope Village, the apartments of our young adults in residence! Thank you to their incredible team of volunteers for bringing these spaces to life.
