About Us

NW Hopeful Horizons

Founded and directed by Angela and Augustine Lujan. Together they are a blended family. Augustine is a Latino male growing up in Southern Californian, facing challenges of racism and family struggles. Angela grew up in a small town impacted by family drug use, poverty, violence, and abuse and became a wife at 16 and a mom of two by age 19. Angela later faced divorce and separation from her two oldest children by the age of 21. Augustine and Angela entered the Navy, where they met in Kitsap County in 2001. They Married in 2005 and shortly after had their youngest child.

After serving in the Navy, they settled in Kitsap County in 2007, raising their collective three children, their youngest identifies as Transgender, their second oldest identifies as nonbinary, and their oldest as a cisgender male. They understand the challenges families face in youth coming out and learning to navigate understanding and acceptance. They also understand the struggles families face regarding youth with mental health struggles, as all three of their children struggled at various times with mental health challenges and continue to navigate mental health as young adults.

Both Augustine and Angela are very passionate about serving their community and using their backgrounds, education, and lived experience to help impact the lives of others. Augustine has been a business owner and possesses an MBA. Angela is also a business owner with over ten years of experience as a Mental Health Counselor.
