We are thrilled to give thanks for a fantastic year at Hope Collaborative with an expanding group of Hope partners, youth participants and friends in youth leadership development. We honored top social impact leaders at our Hope DWF Human Excellence Awards at Harvard in June. We have been excited to welcome new corporate sponsors, foundations, and individual donors from a variety of geographic segments and subject areas this year.
A young 5th grader looked up from his desk in a recent session on how to resolve conflicts as a leader and said: "So--we started today with a 'Flight or flight' approach. I think we have ended today with a new approach called 'Fight or flight or work things out together.'"
It is our privilege and joy to work with a new generation of leaders--now in 7 countries--who are having impact on their communities with better, evolved ways of thinking about leadership and community building. The task is both complex and simple. When you come to it with fresh eyes, as students do, our human capacities can unwind the most complex problems to find decency and friendship. Working with kids and teens, it is clear that a return to innocence makes those things possible. Can we find our humanity and leadership selves in a sea of doubt and struggle? Perhaps where we work things out together. We wish you all peace, grace and meaning together during the holiday season.
