HOPE & JOY

HOPE & JOY is an organization for families with young children between the ages of newborn to 11 years. The purpose of HOPE (Hellenic Orthodox Primary Education ) and JOY (Junior Orthodox Youth) is to gather and create Orthodox Christian fellowship for children ages 4-7 and 8-12 respectively. By making friendships early on, the children will want to come and participate later for GOYA (Greek Orthodox Youth of America) and have a greater participation in the Greek Orthodox community. Through our Orthodox Faith we are grounded in Christ's mandate to be our 'brother's keeper,' and it, to serve and respect others, while also respecting ourselves and having fun in fellowship.
