TEACHING, EQUIPPING + ENCOURAGING
We are passionate about training, equipping and encouraging young people around the country. We would love to start a conversation about how we can help do that in your community but in the meantime we invite you to watch these videos to get a glimpse into what we do.

TARA RUMLER
Tara believes that teenagers and 20 somethings are the BEST and can change the WORLD! Tara has served on church staff teams as a youth pastor in both Chicago and in the Bay Area. While Tara served in both youth and young adult ministries, she noticed an increase in young people opening up about struggles with suicide, anxiety, and depression. These issues intensified to new levels during the pandemic and Tara felt called to join the New Hope Staff to make a real difference in what is being called a “youth mental health crisis.” Tara holds two Masters Degrees and certifications in Emotional Intelligence and LifePlanning, which all empower her to help people of all ages to find their calling, purpose, and direction. For fun, Tara enjoys adding to her shoe game collection, traveling, hiking, the beach, and oat milk lattes.
