Description
I’m excited to share an opportunity to be part of something truly special with Academy of Hope.
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, we will host the Stride for Hope 5K & Homecoming Festival—a high-energy, community-centered celebration marking over 40 years of impact in adult education across Washington, DC.
We’re building a strong volunteer team to help bring this day to life—from early morning race operations to a full festival experience filled with performances, activations, and community engagement. This is a one-day opportunity to step in, support, and be part of a moment that celebrates growth, resilience, and connection.
