The Hope Institute is a 501(c)(3) institution that brings best practices for developing good character in students to K-12 schools in Alabama.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • The Hope Leadership Academy is The Hope Institute's flagship initiative to partner with schools to develop students into people of character. Available to K-12 schools in Alabama, the Hope Leadership Academy is designed to inspire transformational change by introducing administrator and educator teams to the process of building a character-focused school culture. This energizing, three-year process lets participants learn from national character education leaders, concentrate on the culture of their school, design character development plans for their school, visit schools with character programs already implemented, and network with other school leaders. This process works for any school in any setting. Through day-long workshops and on-site consulting that helps inform community needs and school demographics, participants apply learned concepts to their school. Because of this, every school involved is implementing new strategies in ways that work for them.
