Casa de Esperanza: Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Program

Description: caring for infants and children up to age six who are at risk for abuse and neglect in Houston, TX

“Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will serve vulnerable children throughout a 12-month commitment, living in a private, gated community (at no cost) and receiving a living allowance. Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will work collaboratively with other AmeriCorps Members in the home to ensure that children’s physical, emotional, and mental needs are met. While the commitment is only one year, the impact AmeriCorps Members have on the children in their care is lifelong. In turn, the children’s strength, resilience, and love will also make a lifelong impact on them.” – Darean Talmadge, Human Resources Coordinator, Casa de Esperanza de los Ninos, Inc.

Duration of program: September 2026 – August 2027

For more information, please contact Darean Talmadge, (713) 529-0639, dtalmadge@casahope.org
