I have found the culture within Hope Village Revitalization and in the surrounding Hope Village community to be friendly and welcoming to each other and outsiders. My coworkers have cultivated the most comfortable and supportive environment where I always feel competent and capable. I am the youngest person at my workplace, but my coworkers have never talked down to me or assumed that I was unable to do anything because I am younger and less experienced with community work. The members of the community are always excited to meet me and hear about my work with HVR. They are so grateful to the organization for all that we do for them and the opportunities we provide. I can see that the community is close-knit and loving, as everyone knows each other very well. I must say that I do feel like an outsider sometimes, which is a bit unavoidable when you are working somewhere new, especially when you’re working within a community you are not from. It has been really interesting and a valuable experience to observe the culture of Hope Village as someone who grew up within a more rural and less diverse culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
