HOPE COMMUNITY RESOURCES INC

Our Kodiak recreation program runs year-round, Monday through Friday, and offers community-based activities such as arts and crafts, biking, gardening, cooking, swimming, hunting, fishing, boating, skiing, hiking, karaoke, games, barbecues, and much more. Whatever your interests, we have opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities to experience all that Kodiak has to offer!

The Kenai Intentional Neighborhood, established in 2018 through the collaboration of Hope, families, and community advocates, is a thoughtfully designed residential community located on 20 acres just outside Soldotna. It includes five single-family homes, a triplex, and the central Kenai Community Center. Each home features a live-in Resident Manager who supports two individuals, creating a supportive and balanced living environment.

Depending on the individuals needs, Hope offers assistance with skill building in independent placements and community-based opportunities. We also offer assistance with skill development that assists a person in participating fully in their community of choice.

We believe in building a strong, inclusive community through a wide variety of meaningful activities and shared experiences. Our diverse programs include arts and crafts such as painting and pottery, hands-on cooking classes that explore international cuisines, and gardening workshops focused on local, sustainable practices. Health and wellness are also central to our mission. We offer yoga, boxing, and general fitness sessions to promote physical and mental well-being. For outdoor enthusiasts, seasonal activities such as fishing, hunting, and nature walks are popular offerings. Social and cultural events like storytelling nights, Native celebrations, and holiday parties provide moments of connection and joy throughout the year.

Hope Community Resources offers a wide variety of services throughout the state of Alaska. In addition to operating more than 60 assisted living homes, we provide in-home supports, child and family services, respite, day habilitation, foster care, Deaf supports, mental and behavioral health supports, intensive care services, and recreational and educational programs to people across Alaska. All of our programs focus on the person and assisting them to live full and meaningful lives in the community of their choice.

Hope Studios is a collaborative art studio for artists within the community who experience intellectual or developmental disabilities. The mission of Hope Studios is to provide artists the space and opportunity to create, while allowing them to explore their form of self-expression through different mediums. It is also Hope's mission to elevate the talents that develop through self-expression to becoming a viable part of the art community in Anchorage. We believe that it is possible to enhance people's quality of life through participation in the arts.

The Lesko Discovery Center at Hope is the hub for all recreation and educational programs in the Anchorage area. The Center provides inclusive activities and classes for all ages, including after-school activities for children and teens, a Summer Camp program, and art and craft classes.
