Who We Are

Hope Leadership Trust (HLT) is an immigrant-led nonprofit in Tacoma, Washington, walking alongside immigrant, refugee, and underserved families across the Puget Sound region, with a special focus on African immigrant and refugee families.
Through healing-centered programs, we help families recover from hardship, build economic stability, raise confident young leaders, and find a community where they belong.
HLT has reached more than 4,000 community members — all as a young, largely volunteer-driven organization.
