Driven by the core values of service, leadership and philanthropy – Champions of Hope is a unique program that empowers young men through community service and support of Centers for Youth & Families.
Champions of Hope engage in volunteer opportunities, learn from business leaders and experience the power of philanthropy. These young men work with organizations that meet diverse needs and address topics ranging from foster care to mental and behavioral health to combating human trafficking.Comprised of 44 young men, the class contributed nearly 900 service hours to the community – supporting The Centers, Miracle League, Recycle Bikes for Kids, Arkansas Food Bank, The Van and other organizations. This culminated with an impressive achievement of over $90,000 for The Centers, garnered through individual fundraising and corporate partnerships.
The Centers celebrates these young men as servant leaders and positive catalysts for change. This commitment to the organization and community will be celebrated at The Evolve Gala.
