Our Core Belief
The stories we believe about ourselves and our communities have immense power. They control our:
Resiliency
Wellbeing
Self-Worth
Educational Outcomes
Community Engagement
Career Pathways
Harnessing the Power of Stories
Our programming seeks to tackle the internal and external barriers our students face through three stages:
Intervention
Engaging with students at pivotal turning points, we create holistic learning spaces to tackle personal barriers with mental health, mindfulness, and purpose-finding tools.
Transformation
Through the act of telling their stories, students strengthen resilience and self worth, build future pathways, and gain essential education and career skills needed to achieve their goals.
Empowerment
Channeling their transformation outward, students learn to advocate for themselves and their communities, sharing their experiences to heal and inspire those around them.
