That’s Bob Hopkins’ philosophy, and with it he has joyously cultivated a long life and career full of profound enrichment while making an impact literally across the globe through an astonishing number of initiatives. His PAVE program, or Philanthropy and Volunteerism in Education, is about changing lives by giving children a new outlook on life through Service Learning and Community Involvement. Bob´s program follows first and second graders for three years. These formative years, with the assistance of college students in their classroom each week, celebrates amazing outcomes.
