Our mission is to…
Give teens a community and the structure to gain clarity on the messages they’ve internalized and how to discover their own path through connecting with others, asking the right questions, diving deep, and creating a plan for managing stress and pushing forward to the future they desire and deserve.
We desire to…
Bring teens together and create an experience where they can gain skills and learn tools so that they feel confident, authentic, and connected, and ready to take on all that life tosses their way. The goal is to let down their guards, feel safe, and participate in activities that will help them figure out who they really want to be in this world, as well as how to manage stress and anxiety when it hits.
Our promise is to…
Provide a safe, accepting environment where kids can show up knowing that whatever they’ve done, whatever they feel, whatever they regret- it’s all okay. We’re all flawed and we’re all just doing our best, and knowing that from the very first hour will help them to realize that nothing they can say or share will make them any less welcome and accepted.
How we accomplish this?
We believe that every teen already has the answers they seek, and our job is to provide a safe and loving environment where they can uncover those answers. This is achieved through the power of the group, the experience of exercises and activities selected, and the simple (but not easy) act of being honest, open, and (once trust is established) vulnerable and courageous.
