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.

Funds raised from the conference will help fuel Generation Hope’s life-changing work
Fewer than 2% of teen parents earn a college degree before they turn 30, but Generation Hope Scholars graduate at a rate that is on par with the national average for all college students and is almost eight times the rate of single mothers nationwide. We’re also working with higher education institutes and policymakers to drive systemic change, removing barriers for thousands of student parents across the country. Learn more about our work.
