A Revolution in Conflict Resolution"When we go into a school that is struggling with gang violence or a country in the midst of a civil war, we begin by getting youth to focus on a conflict far removed from the classroom or the streets. Then they are able to step back and apply what they have learned to the conflict in their own lives." - Carl Hobert, Founder, Axis of Hope
TransformationsAxis of Hope is about transformations. The experience transforms students from receivers of education to active participants in learning. This transformation occurs because of the connections that this experience gives people. It brings the world issues into sharp focus and participants can immediately see how they can and should be involved. It is revolutionary, it is dramatic and nobody is the same after the experience.
21st-Century SkillsStudents who are preparing for their careers require 21st-century skills like problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration and communication. Axis of Hope teaches these skills in ways that allow students to apply and reinforce their learned skills immediately. This unique method results in lifelong changes in students' abilities and their approach to life and learning.
