Who are we?
Our History
Destiny of H.O.P.E. was first founded as an activist organization by community leaders Glenn Cobbins, Sr. and Judy Hubbard, whose vision was to create a grassroots effort dedicated to helping and supporting individuals in need. Recognizing the urgent demand for a local organization to address systemic challenges and provide hope for families, a group of committed community members formally established and incorporated Destiny of H.O.P.E., Inc. in 2001.
From those humble beginnings, Destiny of H.O.P.E. has grown into a thriving nonprofit organization that serves hundreds of individuals each year. Over the past two decades, we have expanded our reach and programming to empower youth, strengthen families, and restore communities. What began as an effort rooted in advocacy has evolved into a comprehensive network of support services, mentorship, and community development initiatives that continue to honor the vision of our founders. Destiny of H.O.P.E. is co-owner of the P.E.A.C.E. and H.O.P.E. Center for Youth, another 501(c)(3) dedicated to serving the youth of Columbia.
