TIER 2: GIVE BACK ACADEMY - Teaching Groups of Students in Local Schools

Give Back Academy consists of monthly group workshops during the school day on middle school and high school campuses, providing youth opportunities to connect with relatable peers and using the Give Back curriculum to help youth develop economic stability, relational wealth, and resiliency building that empowers them to remain committed to their education and strive for a successful and fulfilling career.

TIER 3: TRAIN THE TRAINERS - Trainings are currently in development for schools and organizations

We have received a lot of interest from schools and organizations interested in using our Give Back HEROs curriculum, and we are developing trainings on implementing our curriculum with fidelity.

All Give Back programs are built on the three pillars of our curriculum:

Economic Stability

Economic stability is achieved by having a stable and sufficient income to meet basic needs and lead a fulfilling life. To help our students achieve this state, we guide them toward finding and maintaining a career path that aligns with their interests, celebrates their strengths, and fills them with purpose. We teach students that a stable income can positively benefit their mental and physical health, relationships, and sense of self-worth, as well as that of their future family.

Resiliency Building

Resilience, or the ability to bounce back in the face of adversity, is a quality that the youth we work with already possess. However, as a means of survival in the face of instability, students often close themselves off from growth-oriented thinking. Since maintaining a growth mindset is crucial to building resilience, we consistently encourage students to maintain agency over their attitudes, emotions, and intentions to create positive opportunities and interactions in all areas of their life.

Relational Wealth

We define relational wealth as the presence of intentional and authentic relationships that can provide a student with guidance, connection, and support. We educate students on the brain-based need for human connection and that social interactions can build empathy, produce self-esteem, regulate emotions, decrease depressive symptoms, and positively impact the immune system. Through a high-quality, competency-based education model, we ground our instruction in helping students build strong personal relationships.
