Hey Hope Community!

We are happy to announce that the 2018 Fellowship Program is moving forward with the next steps! We received some great applications this year, and from the looks of it, the choice will be difficult to narrow down to only 5 fellows for 2018! Here is a brief teaser into where their interests are this year!

“Find people who will make you better.” – Michelle Obama

Next up is our 6th annual Run for Hope 5K! On April 22nd at 9:00am join us in Prospect Park to celebrate our newest fellows and to support Hope’s longterm vision for social justice work in Brooklyn. You can sign up here for $35.00 until March 21st, when the entry price to the race will increase! Don’t delay and get your friends, partners, and teams signed up soon for the race. For groups of 5 or more we offer special group pricing!

Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks on fellows, and our 6th annual 5K!

In Solidarity,

Hope’s Friends and Family

November Daffodils for Hope

Posted on November 25, 2017 by admin

Thank you to everyone that came out to join us last Sunday, November 19th in Columbus Park to celebrate Hope!

Over 25 members of the Hope community came to plant 550 bulbs in about 90 minutes. Our own Doreen Gallo baked amazing chocolate chip cookies and brownies that were still warm and we all shared apple cider on the chilly afternoon!

This year’s daffodil planting is generously organized by the DUMBO Neighborhood Alliance and NY4Parks.

Thank you all for coming together to remember Hope and create opportunities for social impact young leaders and organizations in Brooklyn.

Much love,

Hope’s friends and family

Join us this year at our fifth annual Run for Hope on Sunday April 23rd, 2017.

The Run for Hope 5K Run/Walk is a celebration of the life and work of Hope Reichbach, an activist and civic leader born and raised in Brooklyn. Before she passed away in 2011, Hope worked on the campaign and in the office of Council Member Stephen Levin and worked tirelessly to make Brooklyn a better place for everybody. This event will bring together local vendors, musicians, and members of Hope’s community to raise money and awareness for the Hope Reichbach Fund, which provides summer Fellowships to college students pursuing careers in social justice.
