What We Do
We help you equip youth leaving care to become well-adjusted, self-sufficient,
productive members of their communities.
Training with Hope Institute is an interactive, tailored experience that aims to equip your center to make thoughtful, confident decisions about the children in your care. Our primary focus is preparing children to live as independent adults.
Research gives us the tools we need to understand complicated problems and craft thoughtful solutions. Because our training is evidence-based, we can be confident that we’re sharing the very best practices for the kids who need it most.

We believe in improving the systems of care for high-risk OVC. We strive to be constant advocates for programs and policies that put the needs of children first.

Our Training Process




Assess Care
First, we meet with leadership to learn more about where your program is right now. The team uses our Quality of Care Assessment to help identify strengths, as well as areas that could use improvement.
Build A training Plan
Next, we analyze information from the assessment and develop a training plan that is customized to your center’s individual needs.
Improve Care
Our team conducts in-person training to introduce best practices, identify goals, make a plan, and set a timeline to make changes.
Ongoing Support
After the in-person training, we follow up with regular check-ins to offer support and help navigate obstacles as they arise.

Learning From Research
We seek answers from the people currently conducting and publishing research on topics that matter most for children growing up in care systems. We know there is often a gap between research and practice, and we strive to bridge that gap through training.

Partnering In Research
We are eager to contribute to the knowledge base about kids growing up in out-of-family care systems. We partner with researchers, governments, and other NGOs to learn more about how to achieve the best possible outcomes for high-risk orphans and vulnerable children around the world.

Assessing Care at the Center Level
We work with centers to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their program. Our proprietary tool helps us assess practices and track progress over time. And when it’s paired with outcomes tracking, it can help us see which practices are working and which might need improvement—and that can lead to better care.
Points of Advocacy Interventions

Governments
Good care starts at the policy level. Many governments are seeking to improve the quality of care for high-risk OVC. We work alongside them to find child-first solutions.

NGOs
NGOs know firsthand the strengths and weaknesses of care systems. We partner with them to improve the care environment throughout a region or a country.

Networks
Many regions have networks that promote, coordinate, and support the work of individual centers. We engage these networks to strengthen their impact, and where there are no networks, we work to help develop them.
