A calling greater than the two of them.
MEET OUR FOUNDERS
Coach Bernard "B-Hop" & Jamila Hopkins
More than a decade ago, God brought their paths together and revealed a calling greater than the two of them. From that shared vision, H.O.P.S. Dream (Helping Other People Succeed) was born, rooted in a commitment to helping young people grow, discover their potential, and build brighter futures.
​
Today, as husband and wife, they continue to walk boldly in that purpose. Jamila leads the day-to-day operations of H.O.P.S. Dream with a heart for people and a passion for leadership, mentorship, life-skills development, and creating opportunities that empower individuals to thrive.
​
Together, they are dedicated to inspiring hope, developing potential, and equipping others with the tools and confidence to succeed. Through their shared faith and commitment to service, they strive to make a lasting impact in the lives of young people and the communities they serve.
