Recently, MATFORCE partnered with Kids at Hope and ASU’s Center for the Advanced Study and Practice of Hope to Bring Hope to Prescott Valley and other communities of Yavapai County.

For the past three decades science has examined the dynamics of HOPE to better understand its elements and why some people seem to have a lot of hope; others a little; and why so many lack hope particularly when we know for a scientific fact that people with hope do better in life that those without it.

Rick Miller, Founder and Chief Treasure Hunter of Kids at Hope, shared about the importance of a Hope Town Hall. “The topic of hope is indeed a subject that can change the trajectory of people’s lives and provide an optimistic and empowering view of their communities. Offering hope as a topic for a Town Hall meeting is important to the well-being of all.”

Join Rick as he shares the science and culture that creates hope. A panel of community members with lived experience will share their stories on how hope impacted their lives. And a discussion on how hope can be used as a strategy not just a loose set of emotions will be facilitated. Participants will be encouraged to participate in a robust question and answer segment as well.

The Hope Town Hall will be presented virtually on Friday, April 9th from 10:00 am to 11:30 am. Register today for this free webinar at matforce.org/events or contact MATFORCE for more information at info@matforceaz.org or (928) 708-0100.
