Do you have a passion for empowering others to be self-sufficient? Do you want to be a much needed HERO in your community? If your answer is YES to either question; Operation HOPE’s ‘HOPE Corps’ is for you. HOPE Corps is a premiere volunteer network. We enable our members to teach financial education internationally to youth and adults, individually and in groups, through any of our 3 volunteer-based programs: HOPE Coalition America, Banking on Our Future, and the HOPE Banking Center Network. We listen to the passions and experience of our members to help you find just the right volunteer experience. We walk you through the process of becoming HOPE Corps members by providing information about our 3 core volunteer-based programs. We guide you to a HOPE representative in your community and we provide all the necessary materials and training to ensure you have a positive and rewarding volunteer experience with HOPE. And lastly, we serve as a resource and a network of support to continually encourage and recognize, YOU, our HOPE Corps Members for your heroic acts of community service. Banking on Our Future Do you love kids? Do you believe that all kids deserve access to the tools they need to become productive, self-sufficient adult members of our society?
