What is the HOPE Conference?

HOPE is designed to bring together student parents, education leaders, policymakers, nonprofit professionals, and philanthropists from across the country to work together to accelerate economic mobility for families — a gathering that is needed now more than ever. By helping to create strong connections among change-makers, HOPE serves as a place for new and brave thinking around the practices, organizations, policies and systems that need to shift to help families thrive.
