Mission Statement

Through research, counselling, education and programming, the Hope Foundation of Alberta furthers our understanding of the role of hope and encourages the intentional application of hope language, principles and practices so that children and adults can life fuller, more rewarding lives.

Principles for Action

1. Hope is important to individuals learning how to handle difficult life experiences and to those supporting such learning.
2. Hope involves all aspects of the human condition, whether physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or social.
3. Hope is most effective when combining the best from the professional and academic world and the community at large.
4. Hope is best promoted when service and research are partners.
5. Hope will benefit from collaborative opportunities that further develop, rather than duplicate, the work of existing organizations.

Vision Statement

To be an international advocate for the study and practice of hope through research, teaching and service.
