Pay Hope Forward

At Pay Hope Forward, we believe in the power of creativity to build confidence, connection, and opportunity. We currently offer free Functional Art Classes every Tuesday at Tumbleweed and are expanding to additional locations, including the YWCA and Family Promise, where we work with youth and families in transition. Each class focuses on practical, hands-on projects like t-shirt bags, embroidery, and painted goods - teaching useful skills while fostering self-expression. Just $5 covers the cost of supplies for one student, and your sponsorship helps keep these sessions accessible and growing.

In addition to local programming, we offer a 12-week Art for Empowerment course blending creative projects with entrepreneurship training - covering branding, pricing, and sales. A full scholarship is $200 per student, which includes all materials and a final capstone project: a weeklong trip to the Good Shepherd Children's Home in Honduras (Nov 22-29), where graduates teach the curriculum to youth aging out of care. You can help by joining us, donating, or simply keeping the mission in your prayers. The all-inclusive cost for the trip is $2,500 per person (flight, lodging, and supplies). Let's create hope - together.
