A caring network for the road ahead.
At FPC Hope Center, we’re dedicated to helping young adults as they navigate one of the most important and often most difficult transitions in life: the move into adulthood. But for young people exiting foster and kinship care, that transition can come with little to no support.
Formed in 2023 as a standalone 501c3 by Charleston’s First Presbyterian Church, Hope Center was created to help meet that moment with trauma-informed case management, structured adult mentorship, and practical support.
Our mission is to assist young adults in successfully transitioning out of foster care by providing a caring network of consistent support, connection to emergency services, and growing life skills.
Vision
All youth served by the Hope Center will have the opportunity to realize their greatest potential and shape a successful future.
