About
Hope 4 Tomorrow Foundation, Inc. was birthed with the vision to improving the lives of our community. In January 2015, our team began providing humanitarian services in Miami-Dade County as an outreach program. The founder, Tamika Smith, made the vow to lead the way in providing a lifespan of services for the communities of South Florida. Our foundation is highly motivated to act on creating change and opportunities for our new generation to come. Outlining hope as a major key component to breaking the cycle of poverty and thus the inter‐generational repetition of homelessness, mental health, domestic violence, human trafficking, and gun violence.
Mission
H4T’s mission is to unite communities and end the stigma surrounding mental health by providing education, advocacy, and hope for a better tomorrow.
Vision
We envision our tomorrow as a safe and inclusive environment where mental health is valued, discussed openly, and individuals are empowered to seek help when needed.
Philosophy: “A place where there’s always hope”
Hope 4 Tomorrow is a nonprofit, comprehensive youth development program designed to empower at-risk adolescents. Our goal is to bridge the gaps within our communities by providing networks of support, offering resources, and cultivating settings that empower and uplift young people. Collaborating with local and private school systems, as well as other organizations, to provide a full range of services will bring about success in these programs and paths, allowing students to fulfill their full potential as responsible leaders in our communities.

Our Team
We will provide direct responses to the growing number of adolescents experiencing mental health crises or living in high-crime areas. Equipping them mentally and physically for life’s journey of maturing into adulthood, with the collective belief that there are limitless opportunities for them to participate in, with the goal of delivering memorable experiences that will serve as lessons for them to apply in their personal lives, overcoming obstacles and adversity.
Our Youth 4 Tomorrow program will teach the next generation how to set achievable goals and accomplish them, which will be the catalyst for success. Delivering hope for a better tomorrow will demonstrate their value not only as respected individuals but also develop a sense of respect for themselves and others. Most essential, create a safe environment where they can feel free of fear to express their thoughts and feelings without being judged. By engaging in activities that are measurable and achievable, we will conquer them as a team.
