Congratulations to Hope Co-Executive Director Chaka Mkali on being named a 2026 McKnight Community-Engaged Artist Fellow! We are proud to have you on our team, and we are cheering you on!

There's nothing better than having our space alive with community! Thank you to all who attended our Spring Open House event last month. There was music by youth DJs, engagement with our programs, messages of hope created, and many connections made.

If you missed it and want to get involved, there are plenty of upcoming events to join from screenprinting and container gardening workshops to testifying at the park board.
