Transforming lives, organizations & communities through the science of hope.
And in communities across our state, there are organizations, professionals and civic leaders who are committed to solving those problems. We want to understand what’s working and fix what isn’t working. But in the midst of so much brokenness and so many challenging circumstances, making a true difference can seem impossible.
Hope can change everything.
Hope is not simply a wish or a feeling. It is a proven science we can measure, apply and cultivate in our communities. And as over 2,000 studies show, it is a leading predictor of success in nearly every sector.
To solve the problems we all share, we need to measure, nurture and build hope in every sector. But how? Hope Rising Oklahoma is here to help.
Hope-centered communities believe that the future will be better than today, and that we each play a role in making that future happen.
Led by Oklahoma First Lady Sarah Stitt and renowned scholar Dr. Chan Hellman, Hope Rising Oklahoma is bringing the science of hope to communities across the state. We provide the framework, training/certification programs and ongoing support so you can:
With Hope Rising Oklahoma, you can use the science of hope to impact your outcomes and fuel your effectiveness in incredible ways.
