Educate & Empower Students in Financial Literacy at Peary Middle School! On Friday, November 6th, volunteer to empower and help Operation HOPE educate 700 6th Grade students at Peary Middle School in Gardena, on basic financial literacy concepts. With the help of our fun and engaging classroom materials, you’ll teach students about the fundamentals of personal dignity through concepts such as: budgeting, checking and savings accounts, credit and investments.

Never taught in a classroom before? Don’t worry! Training and materials are provided in advance of your commitment.
