Hope Women’s Center is a trauma informed, safe haven for women and teen girls facing any difficult life situation to find support, healing, and hope across Arizona. Whatever the adversity, Hope’s holistic approach helps engage, encourage, and equip women in all stages of life.
To better serve women and teen girls across Arizona, Hope has expanded its reach through our Hope on the Road program. By establishing easily accessible locations across Arizona we can provide all of our services outside of the walls of our physical centers in community spaces where people already feel safe to go. We partner with over 60 sites across the state of Arizona including libraries, community centers, after school programs, jails/prisons, community centers, and low income housing communities.
Hope Women’s Center is proud to partner with the Peoria Community Resource Center through Hope on the Road, bringing free support services directly to women and families in the Peoria community. Hope on the Road is available at the Peoria Community Resource Center every Thursday from 9:00am–12:00pm, offering education classes like emotional health and parenting, mentoring, one-on-one parent support, job coaching, material resources, and referrals to other community organizations.
