The Science of Hope
At FuturesNW, we believe that hope is measurable and transformative. Our work is grounded in the Science of Hope, a well-researched framework that predicts long-term positive outcomes for high school youth. Research shows that hopeful teens have fewer absences, higher college enrollment and retention rates, and stronger graduation outcomes. We use Hope Score as a research-based tool to understand how students view their ability to set goals, identify pathways, and take steps toward their future. By tracking Hope Scores, we can identify where additional support is needed and tailor our programs to strengthen students’ resilience and confidence.
