About
After five years of faithfully serving Southern California and reaching lives across the world,
Hope Gatekeepers is stepping forward in bold faith.
​
Our mission and vision have always been deeply rooted in Christ, and through His guidance, our services have flourished—impacting communities with hope, love, and transformation. Today, Misty Mota and Jasmine Griffis, after much prayer and collaboration, stand united in confidence in Jesus, committed to serving wherever God leads us.
​
With prayerful hearts, we hold a special love for the young adult community in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties—our home, our foundation, and our stomping grounds. We believe this is where God has called us to pour deeply, to uplift, and to build.
Intentional Change
Transformation Begins With HOPE
We believe that transformation doesn’t happen by chance—it happens through purposeful action, collaboration, and vision. To change our communities for the good means investing in people, uplifting families, and creating opportunities where hope can flourish. Every program, every resource, and every act of kindness is driven by intention: to heal what’s broken, to strengthen what’s weak, and to inspire a culture of unity and compassion.
​
When we act with intention, we move beyond short-term solutions and instead sow seeds of lasting impact. Together, we are not just serving today’s needs—we are shaping a future where every individual has the chance to thrive, and every community can stand stronger, healthier, and filled with hope.
Impact and
Transparency
Inspired by Christ’s love, HOPE Gatekeepers offers prayer, mentorship, and spiritual guidance, always available if desired, never a requirement. Every service is provided regardless of belief, ensuring young adults receive care, connection, and encouragement on their own terms.
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin . . .
-Zechariah 4:10
The Origin of HOPE Gatekeepers:
A Divine Assignment
​
HOPE Gatekeepers was birthed not from a business plan, but from a burden placed on the
heart of Misty Mota, a burden for brokenness, and a holy calling to stand in the gap for the
wounded, the weary, and the voiceless.
​
Mental Health Advocacy
HOPE Gatekeepers was first born out of mental health advocacy and preventing loss of hope (suicide). Today, we are stepping boldly into a new chapter, one that reflects our deeper call.
This rebrand centers on:
-
Transformation, not just services.
-
Christ as the foundation, always offered by choice, never force
-
Faith-rooted empowerment that sustains young adults long after they leave our programs.
-
Community partnerships that expand opportunities, ensuring hope is never kept but shared.
Our name and mission are the same, but our vision has grown: to ensure that where the gate opens, hope truly enters and transformation follows.
