What is Hope Serving? Hope Serving is a one of a kind experience that encourages learning and critical thinking through hands-on service, community involvement, civic and social justice education. This program inspires members to engage deeply with the Service for Sight mission and build lasting relationships with sisters from all across North America. Hope Serving is now fully-funded by the Fraternity and is of no cost to attendees.

Testimonial “I used to be so nervous around those who were visually impaired because I was scared to say or do the wrong thing. I realize that that’s the purpose of these trips (well, one reason at least) – to remind us that at the end of the day, we’re all just people.” – Ashely Ledet, Eta Eta-Spring Hill, 2016 & 2017 Hope Serving participant
