Job Alert | PT Development + Office Administrator - $22 to $27/hour
The Platform of Hope (POH) began as a pilot program in September 2018 to combat the displacement of low-income families of color from Adams Morgan/Ward 1. We support these families by helping them access resources and connecting them to their community.
POH changes the paradigm of traditional social services delivery to center the voices of families in making holistic decisions about their life, as well as uphold social capital between families as a key factor for long term success. A core component of our program is fostering strong social networks among participating families to highlight families’ innate resourcefulness and knowledge. In addition, POH’s model looks at the integration of housing, education, employment, family stability, physical health, mental health, etc. to partner with families to identify their goals and then self-direct plans to accomplish those goals.
We work with our founding partners (Jubilee Housing, Jubilee JumpStart, Mary’s Center/ Briya Public Charter School and Sitar Arts Center) to assist families in pursuing goals (particularly through referrals), as well as develop additional programming based on families’ needs.
Currently, we are a fiscally sponsored grassroots organization.
