Discovering

We believe the key to your child's confidence is discovering their unique strengths.  For this reason we've incorporated asset-based youth programming- research proven to 
increase resiliency, competence, 
and confidence.

Uncovering Community
PROBLEMS

Our children know aspects of their schools & communities that we do not.  By teaching critical thinking and analysis we'll help youth uncover gaps in needs/ services, and research potential ideas for wise,
 strategic activism.  

Creating & Presenting
PRODUCTS/ PLANS

All social good starts with an idea; we'll equip your child to create an individualized action plan, with achievable S.M.A.R.T. goals.  We hope you'll join us on our last day as
 your leader presents their hopes/ dreams
 to you- their biggest fans.
