2024 learner survey: The results are in and the impact is real

At Edovo, we believe education is a catalyst for change. By providing educational, vocational, and rehabilitative programming to incarcerated individuals across the United States, we aim to empower lives and build brighter futures. The results of our recent learner survey, which gathered insights from over 27,000 participants, highlight the profound impact of our programs.

A Resounding Vote of Confidence

An overwhelming 91% of learners reported that Edovo positively influenced their incarceration experience. This response underscores the transformative power of education and the value of accessible, high-quality resources.

One learner shared:

"Edovo has given me the tools I need to not only make a positive impact upon myself when I'm released, but my family as well. Edovo helps me to motivate myself and others, to help me personally build myself up positively as a stronger, wiser, more determined man."

This testament reflects the life-changing potential of providing education and personal growth opportunities to individuals seeking a better path forward.

Fostering Constructive Engagement

Edovo creates a culture of consistent engagement, with 87% of learners accessing the platform weekly. This dedication speaks volumes about their commitment to self-improvement.

As one participant expressed:

"There are lots of people in jail who are good people and are more than willing to change, they just need the right tools. Most people only do what they know because they weren't taught, so they need tools – and Edovo is one of them.”

Edovo not only empowers learners but also reduces the likelihood of negative behavior during incarceration. Another learner noted:

"By being on Edovo, I stay out of trouble and get into less arguments. I can stay focused on Edovo and stay out of negative suggestions with other inmates."

By providing a constructive outlet for their time, Edovo equips individuals to channel their energy toward building a better future.
