Why I Joined Hope Squad
“I cleared my schedule to get Hope Squad in. A situation came up when somebody felt suicidal, and this time I was able to help them. Nothing feels better than being able to save a life.”
Utah Lt. Governor Spencer Cox
“We have students looking out for others who may be marginalized, who may be suffering. We need more Hope Squads.”
