Hillsborough Organization for Progress & Equality

Want to Make a Difference? Join UUCT's Justice Ministry?

Our church along with other congregations comprise the Hillsborough Organization for Progress and Equality (HOPE). Together we work for justice, fairness and equality in our community. For the past two years HOPE has been working on the problem of unemployment in Hillsborough County. Working with Hillsborough Community College and the Florida Workforce Alliance, HOPE has been encouraging the development of Fast Track Training programs that can especially help alleviate the problem of unemployment among the 18 -25 year old population. This year HOPE continues to identify unjust barriers to employment and seeks systemic solutions that will reduce the high unemployment in our community. If you want to respond to the call to “do justice” and are willing to help, or just want to learn more about HOPE, please contact Carol Partington, Judy Lane, Diane Gainforth, or Christine Smith.
