Hope discovered Friendship Center while searching for an internship during her final semester at Westmont College, and it turned out to be the perfect match! Starting in early 2024 as a Marketing and Communications Intern, she fell in love with the place and knew that she couldn’t leave. After graduating in the spring, she officially joined the Friendship Center team as a MarComms/Executive Assistant and became the Development Specialist in the fall of 2025. Hope feels so grateful to be part of a place filled with wonderful staff and lively members who make every day so special.
