Word of Hope Ministries, Inc. (WOHM) is a faith based community ministry founded by Dr. C.H. McClelland. WOHM was established at its current location, 2677 N. 40th Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in May 1996.Though the main purpose is to provide spiritual empowerment, WOHM realizes that its message is more readily accepted when it takes an active role in bringing social and economic change to the residents of Sherman Park, and its surrounding communities. The populations that are targeted to receive these programs are often disenfranchised community members who lack adequate job, educational skills to improve the quality of life for themselves and/or their families. In an effort to enhance their lives, The Word of Hope has developed 7 areas of programming which are: (1) Employment (2) ATODA (3) Health Care (4) Mentoring (5) Social Services (6) GED preparation (7) Computer Training. The Word of Hope Ministries is located in the heart of the community on 40th and Center Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and because of the Diversity of this neighborhood it is one of the most racially and economically mixed neighborhoods in Milwaukee. The staff is more culturally sensitive than one would find in the metro Milwaukee area. Not only is the staff adapt to working with many different racial and economic groups, it also has a professionally trained staff that brings several years of experience in providing health care and social services to the community.
