What Our Friends of HOPE Say
Joining the Friends of HOPE network as a Guardian of HOPE felt like a full circle moment for me. Being in a position where I can give back to a program that invested so much in me felt like such a proud moment and an accomplishment within itself. Now, it’s my time to be the person investing in other young Latinas’ growth and developments.
I proudly support HOPE because I know that at the very core of the organization and at the heart of its leadership, is the shared commitment to elevate, educate, embolden, and empower Latinas.
I support HOPE because every Latina deserves equal educational opportunities.
I am grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to help others, to influence change and to pay it forward. May we continue to be part of the solution and be there with HOPE to support, empower, inspire, and engage.
