Who We Are
The SEQ HOPE Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation based in California with offices in Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. We teach Emotional Intelligence to youth and believe that you can guide youth / young adults to overcome their circumstances simply by changing their mindset around what they consider to be their "mess”. We believe all youth deserve an opportunity to learn coping mechanisms, life skills, and financial literacy.
Our Mission
To teach Emotional Intelligence to youth across America through programs that create a safe, open, and caring space for youth to connect in a nurturing group environment.
Our Vision
That every youth live in a world where they feel safe enough to express their true feelings in order to live a fully authentic life.
To be an ongoing partner and resource for youth & young adults (primarily ages 14 to 24); to inspire positive change, leadership and character development; and to enable them to visualize their futures clearly and identify and practice the behaviors needed to achieve their desired results and dreams.
To be an influence on community involvement so that youth & young adults are recognized and treated as valuable individuals to be encouraged and supported as they mature into self-sufficient adults.

Who We Work With
We partner with the various Departments of Probation and multiple nonprofit organizations that cater to youth & young adults. We teach our licensed programs, which are all focused on Emotional Intelligence (EQ) but specific to each group we serve. Once the youth are in our Emotional Intelligence course, they have access to our mentors for the duration of their time in our course. Customarily, the youth we mentor go on to create their own EQ circles in their area and continue the work of being disciples, leading and making new disciples.
