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.

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.

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.
