Alternative Peer Group (APG)
Peer-led activities that extend connection beyond the weekly program ~ offering structured, supportive experiences where participants build healthy friendships, confidence, and positive life direction together.
Youth typically begin with the Weekly Youth Program ~ building consistency, connection, and trust ~ and may also participate in Alternative Peer Group (APG) activities as relationships deepen. Parents and caregivers are supported through their own dedicated programs, allowing the entire family to grow together.

Confidentiality & Trust
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of A Light of Hope. We ask participants to protect one another’s privacy and to avoid sharing personal details outside the group without direct consent.
This creates a space where people can feel safe, steady, and respected.
