Operation HOPE and our newest innovation — HOPE Business In A Box, powered by the Gallup-HOPE Index, will be featured as a "best practice" solution for America's 4th-12th grade "education to aspiration" crisis, which we believe is also linked to America's high-school dropout crisis, at the CGI America meeting on June 8th, 2012 in Chicago, IL. 

Read the complete announcement around CGI America and the CGI America Official Program for 2012 here.

In the broader context, Operation HOPE has enjoyed a long-term working relationship and partnership with former President Bill Clinton and his Clinton Foundation, dating back to and including President Clinton co-teaching our first Banking on Our Future youth entrepreneurship course in Harlem, New York.

Operation HOPE was also a founding member of both Clinton Global Initiatives and CGI America.

We also worked as a partner with the Clinton Foundation as we sought to help the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, and more than 130,000 plus clients later we found that our alliance helped more survivors of Hurricane Katrina than most everyone else but the federal government and the American Red Cross.  

Much more work to be done. Let's go.
