Achieve Your Goals - Personal Growth & Leadership for Teens

The sessions in the "Achieve Your Goals  - Personal Growth, Leadership & Social Skills for Teens" class follow a structured curriculum, with built-in concepts and strategies tailored to help you reach your specific goals.

Each workshop teaches students the techniques they need to build confidence, connect more authentically with others, and increase self-awareness.

We begin each session by acknowledging our “Challenges & Victories”, where we look at recent victories and celebrate them, any challenges you have faced and what you learned, and then we look ahead at the goals you have set for yourself in the coming weeks.

At the end of each session, you will have actionable takeaways you can immediately start using. The accountability strategies will keep you focused, supported, and on track towards achieving goals you have set for your own studies, sports, extra-curricular activities, or career aspirations.
