Sometimes the most powerful messages are communicated not by what you say, but by what you do. Especially when you do it for others, with no expectation for anything in return.
Recently I had the privilege of speaking with Rob Lowe, host of the “Giving Back Podcast,” where we shared some stories about how we, you guessed it, give back to the community and the world.
Most importantly, I had the opportunity to get out of the spotlight myself, and turn it on to the Hope Partnership for Education, an AMAZING educational organization — far more than a plain ol' “school,” whose motto is “breaking the cycle of poverty through education.”
It's not just about working with high-needs populations. They're transforming the community.
For example, in an area with a >50% high school dropout rate, their students — all high needs, often entering school several grade levels behind, academically — have a 95% graduation rate!
How do they do it, and how can you help, no matter where you're located or what your current abilities are? Tune in to this inspiring podcast to find out.

Thank you for making a difference in our our world! Please share this and help others take action on what they feel passionate about.
Here's to a world of success,
Laura
