What is the HOPE Conference?
Three amazing days of connection, learning, and fun. 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.
We brought together over 300 student parent champions from across the country to make an impact for families!
“This conference allowed me to feel seen and confident in who I am. I was a teen mom and have been divorced 2 times. I have not always felt confident in spaces where I have knowledge because of my alleged failures (they are not!), but here I did not feel like I needed to hide such a big part of my life. Thank you for letting me be in my skin.”
55
We welcomed practitioners and leaders from 55 higher education institutions across the country to share knowledge and best practices.
75
We welcomed more than 75 student parents and graduates from colleges and universities across the country to form community and share their stories.
“I truly feel that many student parent champions will have much to take from this and be inspired to apply it to their communities.”
“As a student, I really enjoyed the fact that not only did I get to go out of town and network, but I found so many professional opportunities, and I had a lot of fun.”
