Hope Agency | Direct Support Professional

HOPE is a premier, non-profit organization serving adults with special needs and their families, incorporating ideas and concepts that powerfully increase their quality of life.

** HOPE is an hourly service provider where our individuals receive a few hours of services a week, depending on their needs.

One of HOPE's goals is to ensure that all participants that are interested in their community have opportunities and options to be a part of their community. This is done through civic involvement, volunteer works, and belonging to a group where membership holds certain responsibilities. By belonging and participating in the community, people create meaningful relationships within their community, increasing awareness and acceptance, with a goal of reducing needs for paid supports. All of HOPE's participants are working toward meaningful opportunity.

We work with individuals throughout the Des Moines metro area and surrounding suburbs.
