THE HOPE XXL FOUNDATION.

The HOPE XXL Foundation carries out all activities and works towards achieving the objectives of HOPE XXL. For this, the foundation has a team of people who carry out the daily activities. In addition, the board oversees all activities.

HOPE XXL was initiated by ten youth leaders from The Netherlands in 2009.
