Hope Inspired Ministries (HIM) was founded in Montgomery, Alabama in January of 2012, to serve unemployed individuals by preparing and equipping them to obtain, maintain, and excel at employment. Results from the original program demonstrated that even the most marginalized men and women of a community can become self-supporting, productive citizens. HIM then replicated the original Montgomery model in Birmingham in 2017, and in Lowndes County in 2020 to make three community sites. On top of that, HIM partners with The Foundry Ministries, the Alabama Department of Youth Services, and both public high schools in Lowndes County to provide services on-site at their facilities. HIM developed a curriculum that incorporates the structure and accountability of a workplace, and also wrapped it with empathy and compassion to equip individuals to escape the hopelessness and despair found in a lifetime of poverty. The HIM staff meets students where they are. HIM helps students hit the reset button on their lives by developing employment and life skills that will lead them to self-sufficiency. HIM introduces a way of life that fosters the development of the emotional, physical, and spiritual maturity in each student. HIM helps students unpack a lifetime of negative thoughts and behaviors to rebuild and transform into confident adults with the feelings of self-worth they need to set and accomplish goals they never dreamed they could achieve. Graduates leave the program feeling more confident of their ability to shape not only their own lives, but also to participate in the communities where they live. Due to strict structure and accountability, 45-50% of the students who enroll complete the course. However, 85-90% of HIM graduates find employment.

Wow, we had such a great time last Friday as we “RESET” at PRCAcon 2024! 🔁 We hope everyone enjoyed the day and gained some valuable information, education and made some new professional connections. Our day kicked off with a bang as Dr. Rodger Morrison taught us all about the Tic-Tac-Toe Analysis #️⃣ method as a new approach to reset the way we conduct SWOT analysis. After that, Haley Kintner, M.Ed reminded us all that “a reset is not a setback” and shared how we must improvise, adapt and overcome to be successful. 💪 Next, Ilka V. Wilson Vallee provided a great visual example of ways to reset, by holding up water bottles, then passing them to others when you needed assistance. She also shared a helpful acronym for RESET: Reflect, Evaluate, Strategize, Empower, and Transform. 🤗 Tiffany Chaney closed out our workshop by discussing ways to reset our thinking about diversity, equity and inclusion when it comes to advertising and promotions in our organizations and businesses. 🙌 We were especially grateful for all of the local nonprofit representatives who joined us last week.❤️ In between sessions, we got to learn about what their organizations do to help serve our community and how we can get involved. They included: Heart of Alabama Food Bank, Quiet Storm, SUM Unlimited, The Grove MGM, Girls on the Run, Hope Inspired Ministries (HIM), Service Dogs of Alabama, Aid To Inmate Mothers Inc, Brantwood Children’s Home & River Region United Way. 🥰 Check out these photos from our incredible day. 📸 Special thanks to PRCA member and VP of Programs Caleb Hicks with Old Oak Creative for providing headshots and event photos. (The link to headshots has been emailed to all attendees.) We’d also like to thank Kreative Moments for the fun, awesome balloon displays! 🎈 THANK YOU to all our attendees, speakers, non-profit organizations & sponsors! It was an AMAZING day, and we’re already excited about PRCAcon 2025!
On Wednesday, our staff convened in Montgomery to visit The Legacy Museum by Equal Justice Initiative to learn about our country and state's history of racial injustice. Afterwards, staff discussed the effects of injustice on those that HIM serves and how HIM can better relate to students as a result. THANK YOU to The Legacy Museum and EJI for hosting us!
