Only by helping each other can we make the world better.
Big Hope Project is a grassroots 501c3 organization led by two Haitian-American brothers born & raised in Dorchester, MA.
Our mission is to reduce the cycle of recidivism by providing direct-aid to communities disproportionately impacted by the War On Drugs. Our services include free record sealing/expungement, workforce education events, and outreach for the Massachusetts Social Equity Program.
We work to close the information gap on expungement eligibility and social equity in the cannabis industry for BIPOC and returning citizens.
We conduct ongoing DEI efforts in communities disproportionately harmed by the War on Drugs which include seminars, B2B networking, and legal support clinics.
We collect metrics to develop an annual Positive Impact Report illustrating and quantifying the impact we are making on our communities each year.
