WORKSHOPS & YOUTH PROGRAMS
Our workshops and youth programs are designed to critically engage students through relevant education and personal development. Our intiatives include:
* The Dedication to Success Workshop: Students reflect on the people who mean (or who have meant) the most to them in life. After this intense reflection, we direct the students' energy to create positive and productive life trajectories as a way to honor the ones they value the most. We end the session with creating a memorabilia of their dedication, to constantly remind them of their conviction to excellence.
* The Business of Life Development (B.O.L.D.) Program:
In this entrepreurial initiative, students create a personalized business plan for their lives. Using the B.O.L.D. curriculum, students learn the essential elements of starting the small business, but with a twist. Instead of creating a product or service, students will be creating themselves, developing a comprehensive plan on how they will achieve their best lives.
