The Winter Lecture Series offers full and half day lectures led by High Hopes staff and professionals.  These lectures are offered for a nominal fee, however, fees may be waived for High Hopes volunteers based on need and hours served.  Choose the series that best suits your interests or “mix and match” between the two.  To register contact our Special Programs Manager at (860) 434-1974 ext 118.
