This past month, our organization was represented at the Christian Community Development Association National Conference by our very own Zakiya Jackson. We were blessed to have the chance to share the Hope For Students story with the conference attendees. Many conference attendees also took the #HopeForStudents pledge to shine a light on education inequality.  See more highlights from the conference below…
