About HOPE

The Hispanic Organization for Progress and Education (H.O.P.E.) was founded in 2002 by Juan Julian Vazquez, who is honorably remembered for all his contribution to the hispanic community. H.O.P.E. continues to keep his dreams a reality with the mission of promoting the advancement of Clarksville growing Hispanic population through education and assistance in such areas as English language learning, immigration and naturalization, health and wellness, business creation and employment, and civic participation.  Our goal of civic literacy enables Hispanic Tennesseans to become informed and engaged citizens who can contribute to the greater good of the community and take an active part in its progress in the years to come. HOPE is also proud to recognize and celebrate the contributions that Hispanic culture and heritage make to our state.
