Serving since 1968

Kenosha County based

A local nonprofit serving individuals, families, youth, schools, courts, partners, and community members throughout Kenosha County.

No-judgment approach

For more than 55 years, the Hope Council has been a trusted resource in our community. Today, we continue that legacy by breaking down barriers, strengthening connections, and building a future where recovery is possible for everyone.
