Empowering youth to explore, find purpose and thrive
Our youth programs provide an immediate and lasting impact.
Based on cutting-edge research in behavioral science, design and innovation, we create educational workshops and programs to help youth to:
- Explore new possibilities
- Build a sense of purpose
- Develop social and emotional skills
- Form a growth mindset
- Enhance health and wellness
Research shows pushing the boundaries and taking chances is where the greatest learning and discoveries occur.
In spring 2019, we ran a pilot study of our first workshop, Mastering the Art of Failing Forward, at the Stanford Online High School, a learning community of diverse, intellectually passionate students from around the world.
