Hope Street Group
Hope Street Group is a new generation of leaders dedicated to building an Opportunity Economy, where anyone who works hard and invests in themselves has the chance to succeed, and our nation prospers as result.
They represent Policy 2.0, a different way of thinking and acting in the policy arena, bringing new talent and tools to traditionally partisan debates. They convene leaders from business, government, and civil society to develop actionable proposals that expand economic opportunity. They also provide young professionals and practitioners an online platform where they can collaborate on policy ideas that are then shared with decision makers. They then leverage their wide-ranging networks to drive implementation of these recommendations.
Their innovative model has made a genuine impact on policy, from the inclusion of their education reform principles in the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), to their "Health Care Agenda for an Opportunity Economy," an agreement among unlikely partners in the health care industry.
