Operation HOPE is a non-profit organization founded subsequent to the
civil unrest in Los Angeles in 1992. One of its programs, Banking on
Our Future, is targeted to youth. Through this program, volunteers
present financial literacy curriculum to classrooms. Operation HOPE has
its own curriculum, but through its train-the-trainer program, will
teach volunteers to incorporate their own curriculum into the program.
The program consists of four one-hour modules, designed to be presented
once a week for four weeks. There is also an online component to this
program, which can be accessed by children in the classroom or at home,
in after-school programs, etc.
