CharityTracker year-end Getting Ahead graduate report 2017

Thanks to the many Getting Ahead facilitators and graduates who contributed to this report. Inputting the data is a massive amount of work!

Some observations:

The number of graduates in the database, now at 569, is growing impressively.

We trust that the number of days between assessments will grow; it is now at 127 days. Obviously, it takes time to stabilize one’s life, build resources, and make financial gains. The more support, and the longer the support, the better it is for Getting Ahead graduates.

Our communities need two things from us: inspiring stories (which we have lots of) and data (which is where CharityTracker helps).

About the Author: Philip DeVol

Phil DeVol is an international consultant who has been working with aha! Process since 1997. He used aha! Process concepts to make institutional changes at the addiction treatment center where he was the executive director for 19 years. During this time he also co-wrote Bridges Out of Poverty with Ruby Payne and Terie Dreussi-Smith. His book Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin’-by-World is being used to engage people in poverty in the work of building communities where everyone can live well. It worked so well that DeVol used it as a basis for a prison reentry model called Getting Ahead while Getting Out. He works with community leaders to help them move quickly from an attraction to application of Bridges concepts. Getting Ahead and Bridges are being used in hundreds of communities in the U.S., as well as a number of sites in Canada, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. His books have been translated into Spanish, Slovak, and Czech.
