About Us

In 1967, a group of men, lead by a young baptist pastor named Armand Wright, had a vision of offering hope and support to men serving prison sentences. They called their program "Ray of Hope". Today, Ray of Hope has multiplied many times, but our passion and vision remain the same. We bring a Ray of Hope to a community of young men and women who have lost their way.
