Measured Impact
We don’t guess — we track.
Four validated surveys — Hope, Mindset, Locus of Control, and Career Self-Efficacy — measure shifts in student outlook.
Developed with educators and validated by UT’s Haslam College of Business, these tools are administered pre- and post-trip. UT oversees all data analysis for accuracy and impact.
Students leave more confident, curious, and committed to building a real future.
“I never thought I could go to college, now I know I can.”
“In 20 years of teaching, I’ve never seen anything affect students this deeply in one day.”
