U-M graduate students volunteer to revamp Focus: HOPE
Thirty students enrolled in the MBA program at the University of Michigan have volunteered to help Focus: HOPE evaluate its operations and structure as the nonprofit weathers a financial crisis.
It's part of U-M's Eleanor Josaitis Global Citizenship Initiative. U-M students also are scheduled to participate in a challenge to raise $1 million for Focus: HOPE
Last month, Focus: HOPE announced 70 of its 300 employees will be laid off, and training programs for about 225 students will be suspended because of federal budget cuts. About 54 engineering students in the agency's college program will lose that program this month.
Focus: HOPE CEO William Jones Jr. said last month that the agency had expected to receive $5.86 million for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, but no money had arrived. And state officials said when it does, it will be far less.
