ERSEA Coordinator

At OHU, our Hope Members are the heartbeat of our organization. Together, we have built a culture of support, trust, and care.

"We are such an inclusive organization, we don’t turn anybody away. Everybody is welcome. Working here, I feel like family. I’ve never felt so appreciated working in a place before. They really take care of you here, listen to your concerns and act on them. It’s just amazing! And it’s really easy to make it amazing when the people you work with are amazing."
