Cultivating Connections (Youth)
&
Empower and Inspire (Adult)
If you are a parent or extended family member, teacher, coach, youth leader, or mentor...
YOU KNOW THE STRUGGLE of understanding and connecting with today's young people. With the pervasive use of electronics and social media, relentless peer comparison, friendship struggles, bullying, lack of positive social skills, and difficulty bouncing back from challenges, today's children and teens are navigating a vastly different world than the one we grew up in.
Raising seven children, having a background in education, coaching high school athletics for over 10 years, and extensive work with both adults and youth, we've seen firsthand the disconnect between generations.
Adults genuinely want to be there for young people, but today's children and adolescents often feel misunderstood, undervalued and unseen. That's why we have created our programs to help young people feel more connected and assist adults in cultivating positive lasting connections with the children and teens they interact with.
