Hope Inspired Ministries (H.I.M.) is a faith-based, local non-profit, designed to take chronically unemployed men and women and train them to obtain and maintain employment. We do so in a manner that develops individual worth, encourages personal responsibility, and promotes the value and honor of work. Our students participate in over 400 hours of training which includes life skills, employment skills, unpaid internships with local businesses, and G.E.D. preparation. In week 13, we conclude the course with a cap and gown graduation where every student offers a 3-5 minute speech regarding lessons learned in the course. At H.I.M., we believe the best way to help the poor is to train them how to become self-sufficient by utilizing the gifts and abilities that our Creator has bestowed upon each of them.
