Our Approach

Questscope accomplishes our mission in three ways—by directly operating programs in Jordan, by building the capacity of other organizations to do similar work, and through an international network that brings new resources to the task.

For over 20 years, these elements have proved critical in assisting individuals and communities to change—finding a way out of poverty, dead ends, and despair.

Holistic Approach

Questscope initiatives provide opportunities, resources and support for social, educational, vocational, emotional and spiritual development.

Pro-Social Communities

Individuals who experience new ways of thinking, living and relating make it possible (and necessary!) for institutions around them to respond positively. We advocate for policy decisions that affirm the initiatives led by changed individuals.

Program Excellence

Questscope has developed highly participatory methodologies on the ground in the Middle East, making a difference from the bottom up: access to alternative education, encouragement through mentoring, opportunities for vocational training, working together with community partners, advocating for restorative justice, and fostering spiritual formation. Each methodology is rigorously evaluated to learn how to continually improve the ongoing impact.

Questscope’s 3-year goals:

• Continue to demonstrate in Jordan how social transformation can occur with the country’s most vulnerable people and communities.

• Build the capacity of other organizations in the Middle East and North Africa that share Questscope’s goals.

• Connect leaders and groups in the region and beyond—to address the challenges of the vulnerable, to support this work, and to learn.

• Double the scale of this work by 2012, so that 20,000 people per year will benefit from Questscope's programs.
