Mission

Constructing Hope means that we are in the business of rebuilding the lives of people in our community.  Our mission is to serve the economic and community needs of the greater Portland Metropolitan Area through the following goals:

  • Encourage self-sufficiency through a skills training and education program for young first-time offenders coming out of jail, the prison system and low-income individuals 17 and older.
  • Facilitate permanent job placement for program graduates to increase economic stability for families and the community.
  • Provide qualified workers with real world work experience and skills training as graduates complete our training program.
  • Engage in community development projects that promote families and home ownership as a long-term goal.
