Inspiration Lab
We invite inspiring speakers, who share their journeys of resilience, growth, and purpose. These stories encourage youth to see themselves as capable of transforming their struggles into strengths, offering a model for success that’s both relatable and aspirational.
Some speakers will provide Youth and Young Adults with technical and innovation skills, giving them the tools to spark and create ambitious “moonshot” solutions for real community issues
Heart to Heart (H2H) Workshops
We offer preventative mental health support through workshops that foster heart-to-heart conversations. Youth are guided to explore their emotions, experiences, and identities, shifting their role from passive recipients of care to proactive individuals with unique insights and voices.
Innovation lab
Our Thinkathons provide a platform for youth to apply the skills and self-awareness they’ve gained, empowering them to address unmet community needs.
