Banking on Our Future elevates the dignity, hope, and economic self-sufficiency of youth in low-wealth and underserved communities through financial literacy. Since its inception, the Banking on Our Future Program has reached over 896,000 students.
1 million of these empowered youth will have an opportunity to become future entrepreneurs critical thinkers, problem solvers, and local job creators through HOPE Business In A Box Academies, supported by a 100-year partnership with the Gallup Organization. This effort powerfully reconnects education with aspiration in the lives of our youth.

In addition, Operation HOPE seeks to inspire, recruit and organize 500 leading CEOs who will become founding partner-members of Internship America. Members agree to provide 6 week internships to young people from underserved communities. For many of these students this is their first exposure to a work and office environment. The goal of the program is to provide mentoring in work situations that inspire the students and encourage them to graduate.

Under the HOPE Inside delivery model a partner funds a HOPE employee who will be a certified financial management coach located at the partner’s selected location. The financial coach will conduct community outreach, create strategic alliances, deliver HOPE financial educational workshops and one-on-one counseling onsite at the partner’s location and at offsite locations.
Operation HOPE is partnering with financial institutions, city governments, and communitybased organizations to deliver financial literacy education. HOPE believes that by providing financial literacy, we empower individuals and give them financial dignity, which leads to financial inclusion.
Under the HOPE Inside Certified Plus model your employees can receive a Financial Literacy Professional Certification after completing a course developed by HOPE.
1 7700 Credit Score Communities will be attained through the expansion of HOPE Inside and HOPE Inside Certified Plus locations. These communities will have access to credit counseling, education on credit and money management, and debt management, offered in an individual and group setting.
HOPE believes that a community empowered with their own sense of financial dignity asks more good questions, demands better products and services, is more aspirational, and positions themselves as an upwardly mobile emerging market for the future. An empowered community is a community filled with economic opportunity.
