FRANKLIN MIDDLE SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP

In partnership with Wayman A.M.E. Church, Westwood Community Church, Waite Park Community Church, and a major corporation, the CDC directs a set of services to support of Minneapolis' Franklin Middle School's, students, families, and staff in overcoming historic barriers to academic greatness. 

A key component of the partnership is our ethnically diverse, multi-sector community-based advisory group.  Our principal partner for helping us address our families' complex financial challenges is Huntington Bank.

RACIAL HEALING

Racial injustice is a verified reality in every aspect of American life. Its effect is seen in racially disparate measures such as wealth, employment, education, homeownership, criminal justice, health. It is a social pathology born of human weakness and hinders all of us.

At Hope United CDC, we are busily working to foster and support racial healing through increasing awareness, learning, and engagement..
