TESTIMONIALS
Testimonials stress me out, especially for something I love and hold dear. I could write a novel about all the superlatives that describe Operation Project H.O.P.E., so I'll break it down a bit. The yearly School Beautification Project allows me to give from my heart to the children and teachers that will shape our future leaders. OPH Leadership Academy brought out the best and most loving parts of me; it re-opened my closed off heart to receiving and wholeheartedly giving love and support to those who want and need it.
I went into the organization thinking it was one thing; it proved it was and continues to exceed expectations. You want to volunteer for a project? Great, you're a volunteer and by the end of the project day, you're one of the tribe eating tacos and dancing at one of the board member's backyard. You want to grow your business and expand your contacts in our self growth program? Awesome, you participate in Leadership Academy to accomplish your goals and also earn the love, friendship, and respect of the most genuinely loving people on the planet! I can seriously go on. OPH is like that shot of espresso you need to wake up in the morning. However, the high you feel by participating with OPH persists, is constant, consistent, and will leave you positive and hopeful for anything life brings.
Because of all that, I'm committed for life."

HOW?
Grows Operation Project HOPE Leadership Academy (OPHLA) is a 4-month leadership program designed to develop leaders, empowered by their wholeness to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others.
Your team will plan an Operation Project HOPE volunteer school beautification project (aka OPHGrows) where you will improve the lives of children through painting, cleaning and renovating their learning environment. These events have seen 50-400 volunteers coming out to empower children through school renovation. Your team will meet one weekend a month and also engage in weekly virtual conference calls as well as coach calls in an effort to support you in not only the OPHGrows project, but your own personal goals
The Leadership Academy develops leaders through two foundational aspects of Leadership:
Pillar 1. “DOING” (commitment, honesty, integrity, responsibility, respect and empowerment)
Pillar 2. “BEING” or A heart-centered place (kindness, wholeness, connectedness, accepting, equality and faith)
OPHLA fills the gap where other leadership training fall short. These Pillars of Leadership allow participants to look at both “doing” and “being”. This approach to “Leadership of Self” prepares individuals for personal and professional success.
