Mason County has one of the highest ACEs scores in the State of Washington. Located near the heart of Mason County, Shelton is a community whose youth are drowing in adverse childhood experiences. At HOPE, we're doing our part to change that by empowering our youth through garden-based education and utilizing trauma-informed education curriculum. Through our programs, HOPE engages youth from elementary through high school in task based activities. Our youth learn how to plant, grow and care for food, how to prepare healthy nutritious meals from scratch, as well as life and job skills to help them succeed.
