Dallas Hope Charities has been invited back for the third year in a row to be a beneficiary at one of the largest LGBTIA-focused fundraising events of the year in the nation. There are many opportunities that become available leading up to the big day.

More information about Black Tie Dinner and additional ways to help our success during this event can be found HERE.

Collective Hope Coalition (CHC) was formed as an initiative of Dallas Hope Charities (DHC) due to the alarming statistics regarding suicide among the LGBTQIA+ community. Through collaboration, focused strategies, unified goals, and successful implementation we are creating positive change. 

Below are activities that are exclusive to the Collective Hope Coalition initiative

Below are activities that are hosted by our community partners. Please note that DHC staff may not be in attendance to log your hours. Please use the clock-in feature HERE when attending to insure that your participation is accounted for.

Dallas Hope Center provides a safe, connected, and welcoming space for our homeless LGBTQIA+ youth. They have the freedom to be authentic and honest, in an environment that encourages growth. Dallas Hope’s Transitional Living Center (TLC) is dual functioning: as stabilization and then to transitional living.

Please note that any volunteer events that require interaction with our residents will require volunteer to be 21+, an approved background check, and a signed confidentiality agreement.

In addition to volunteer opportunities specific to our individual programs and initiatives, we also would love helping accomplishing administrative tasks to continue instilling #HopeForAll.
