Available to K-12 schools in Alabama, the Hope Leadership Academy is designed to inspire transformational change by introducing administrator and educator teams to the process of building a character-focused school culture. This energizing, three-year process lets participants learn from national character education leaders, concentrate on the culture of their school, design character development plans for their school, visit schools with character programs already implemented, and network with other school leaders.

img_056@2x.png — “To give kids hope, you have to give them a reason to want to be good, to be disciplined, to study, and to apply themselves. I think a school should cultivate character.” - Liz Huntley, Founder

Our process works for any school in any setting. Through day-long workshops and on-site consulting that helps inform community needs and school demographics, participants apply learned concepts to their school. Because of this, every school involved is implementing new strategies in ways that work for them.
