ARE YOU READY TO BE A CHANGEMAKER?
At Operation HOPE, we believe that financial literacy is the civil rights issue of this generation. It’s personal to us because we understand the crucial role that financial education plays in empowering individuals and communities.
Operation HOPE CEO John Hope Bryant was a 9-year-old student in South Central Los Angeles when a banker taught a class in financial literacy that changed his life. That encounter sparked his entrepreneurial drive, which evolved into his current success today as one of America’s leading Black business leaders.
Tied to the release of Bryant’s latest book, Capitalism for All, we’ve launched the “HOPE Clubs” in which every American can advance financial literacy for themselves and their communities. We believe that everyone can do something – where they live, learn, work or play – to improve their own financial future or help someone else with theirs. TOGETHER, we can change America!
JOIN OR START A HOPE CLUB
Clubs are volunteer-led, community-anchored chapters operating within colleges and universities, Greek-letter organizations, faith institutions, civic clubs, nonprofits, and established corporate Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Officially approved by Operation HOPE, these chapters serve as a critical growth engine for our mission — bringing financial literacy and economic empowerment to the forefront of American culture.
Here are six other ways to get or give support:
Get Started With Your HOPE COMMITMENT.
Make a personal Commitment to HOPE. Tell us what you are going to do in your home, in your workplace, and/or in your community to propel economic empowerment forward. This could be hosting a home buying workshop for your congregation, helping your child open up a savings account, mentoring a small business owner in your neighborhood, or… you get the idea. The possibilities are endless and we want to hear about what you’re doing, because it is going to take all of us to bridge the economic divide and build thriving individuals and communities!
