On Thursday June 18th, Trae Bodge, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Three Custom Color Specialists, held an Image Workshop for HOPE students.  Trae fielded questions from students on cosmetics and how to apply them.  Students happily left her color studio feeling confident and eager to use their complimentary samples.  As they are preparing for work, they want to make the best first impression.  Trae's generosity will certainly help make this possible.  

This summer, a HOPE intern will begin an internship at Three Custom Color Specialists.

For the second consecutive year, The HOPE Program has received Charity Navigator's coveted 4-star rating for sound fiscal management, outperforming most charities in the country.  HOPE is the only social services organization in Brooklyn to receive this prestigious award - along with seven others in all of NYC!

As stated by Ken Berger, President & CEO of Charity Navigator, "Only 19% of the charities we rate have received at least 2 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that The HOPE Program consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America.  This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator differentiates The HOPE Program from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust." 

Charity Navigator has been described as "America's premier charity evaluator."
