We partnered with The University of Oklahoma’s Hope Research Center because we wanted to know if we could measure the hope that Stand in the Gap brings to the lives of orphans and prisoners. The resulting “Hope Survey” studies the impact of our programs on a person’s hope and key related variables. Thanks to the efforts of Evie Muilenburg-Trevino, Ph.D., we now have the data to prove that hope is found here.
Dr. Muilenburg-Trevino has been studying our Women in Transition program for several years. Through a series of specialized surveys, she measures benchmarks in our clients’ lives before they begin and after they graduate the program. She says, “Women in Transition is the most impactful program I have measured in 12 years of work.”
Her 2019 Life Launch assessment was equally impressive, reporting that 74% of Life Launch graduates increased their level of hope after participation. Participants also showed statistically significant improvement in self-esteem, existential well-being, trust in self, trust in others, and sense of safety.
