In partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, the H.O.P.E. Circle is an award-winning, out-of-school initiative that engages youth exposed to adverse childhood experiences with youth-led participatory action research (YPAR). Meeting weekly alongside trained adults, youth discuss areas of concern within themselves, schools, communities, and State. Participants also develop in their leadership, critical consciousness, and social-emotional wellbeing.  

H.O.P.E. Huddles function as opportunities to (re)engage youth in-school settings. Like a sport, a H.O.P.E. huddle is targeted toward instilling intrinsic social-emotional wellbeing in participants through group discussions, known as huddles. The huddles serve as a catalyst to remind H.O.P.E. participants of their purpose and worth in the game of life. This means to not be reactionary but strategic in their words and actions. H.O.P.E. Huddles take place in-school and through a forthcoming electronic, AI extension.

 
In partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, the H.O.P.E. Circle youth participants co-create and host a year-end, culminating social-action event. H.O.P.E. Circle participants present their research projects as well as reveal any research product or relevant policy they crafted based on the areas of focus for the academic school year.

H.O.P.E. partners with several  organizations to collectively provide programming for the annual event.
