In the midst of warmer weather, we are excited to share these moments of kids and teens finding their voice across the Hope network from this past semester.
In each of these kids is a story of struggle and perseverance. In each location, onsite teachers and facilitators are creating spaces where kids and teens are developing an understanding of what it means to contribute to their communities in new, powerful, and meaningful ways.
We want to thank our partners, facilitators, and administrators for the stories, the memories, and all of your energy and focus.
