LA Volunteers: Get Involved With BOOF

There are several opportunities over the next month for you to get involved with Operation HOPE’s Banking on Our Future (BOOF) program.

A little about the Program…Banking on Our Future


The mission of HOPE’s Banking on Our Future (BOOF) program is to execute a global delivery system for financial literacy education and empowerment for youth. BOOF is a five-part financial literacy curriculum designed to help youth achieve a future free of financial burden. Offered to low-to moderate-income students ages 9 to 18 in under-served communities, BOOF is entirely taught by trained HOPE Corps volunteers (like YOU!).

The HOPE Corps consists of enthusiastic and compassionate local professionals, who volunteer not only to teach personal finance to our youth, but to provide essential real world skills and be professional role models. The HOPE Corps volunteers use our five-part financial literacy curriculum which begins with a conversation in dignity, and then continues into basics of banking and budgeting, checking and savings accounts, credit and investments.

If you are interested, please contact Crystil Turner for more information.
