With help from our Hopebridge Stamp of Approval, discover the spaces and products that we’ve tested and trust to make all families feel welcome and supported.
At Hopebridge, we know how important it is to find spaces where your child can feel safe, supported, and included. That’s why we created the Hopebridge Stamp of Approval – a special recognition awarded to businesses, products, and places that demonstrate excellence in inclusivity, advocacy and/or skill-building.
Whether it’s a playground, a toy, or a local restaurant, the Stamp of Approval helps families identify resources that prioritize differing abilities and needs to create welcoming environments for everyone. This Stamp of Approval is designed to make it easier for families like yours to find businesses and tools you can trust–because every family deserves to feel understood and supported!
