LA: BOOF to Reach Over 5,000 Students This Summer With Your Help

Operation HOPE’s Partnership with the City of Los Angeles’ Summer Youth Employment Program

Currently, Operation HOPE and the Banking on Our Future program are ramping up for a continued partnership with the Los Angeles Community Development Department’s Summer Youth Employment Program. This summer, July-September, Operation HOPE will have the opportunity to educate close to 8,000 young adults ages 15-24 in financial literacy.

In addition, Operation HOPE will be working with the Mayor’s Office of Gang Reduction and Youth Development and their Summer Night Lights program to educate an additional 240 young adults at their summer work sites, specifically in the area of personal finance.

Sessions will take place throughout the summer across the greater LA area. For more information, or to sign up as a volunteer contact Crystil Turner.
