The 3rd Annual HOPE Summit will take place on March 29 – 30. Throughout that week, we will be hosting our 2nd Annual Week of HOPE. During this week, we celebrate the power of positive childhood experiences (PCEs), and the HOPE framework. HOPE makes a real difference in practice whether in policy, organizational structures, one-on-one interactions with children and families, spiritual communities, and many more spaces, and the Week of HOPE is designated to highlight all of the ways that HOPE can support access to PCEs for children and families.
