Who We Are...
New Hope Madera is a local non-profit 501(c)3 organization whose purpose is to bring youth out of gangs and into the American mainstream through loving and caring relationships.
We are modeled after Hope Now for Youth of Fresno who have successfully placed over 1200 gang members into jobs.
What We Do...
New Hope Madera recruits and employs minority youth to serve both as role models and vocational placement counselors who find gainful employment for gang members and At-risk youth.
How We Do It...
New Hope Madera is developing a year-round program encompassing the areas of:
Employment Development
Educational Empowerment
Spiritual Encouragement
Our services are offered free of charge.
UPDATE: Since the sudden loss of our Executive Director Brent Harlow in October 2008, New Hope Madera has been struggling to continue the ministry Brent worked so hard to develop; serving the young men of Madera who want to become viable, productive members of society.
The Board of Directors is currently seeking God’s direction for a new Executive Director for this ministry. If you know of someone who might be interested in taking on this rewarding challenge or are interested yourself, please contact either Ted Pistoresi at 559/673-8004 or Robert Poythress at 559/664-9222
