PURPOSE in PARTNERSHIPS

Prioritize • Promote • Preserve • Protect • Provide

The HOPE Initiative serves traditionally underrepresented populations to provide them with the skills necessary to succeed in college and beyond. The goal is to end the cycle of poverty through education and create a new generation of employees and leaders to accelerate positive change.
