ABOUT HOPE
Who we are
HOPE For Nevada began in 2014 as a PUBLIC EDUCATION ADVOCACY GROUP with a focus on educating our community and legislators about the critical needs of Nevada's students. We ONLY advocate for unifying game-changers for students like funding, teacher pipeline, and accountability.
Our growing membership allows HOPE to offer a unified voice that represents families and community members all over Nevada to inform local, state and federal level decision-makers and legislators on specific needs of students in Clark County and beyond.
