Teens gain self-confidence as they learn to work with an integrated toolbox of mindful awareness, kindness building, social-emotional skillsets, positive habit building, a focus on purpose and potential, the science of brain development, & an understanding of complex cultural shifts. These are the skills and perspectives our leaders of tomorrow need.

I learned about the different roles and different parts of the brain. I learned about various techniques to de-stress and de-clutter my mind in order to be a little more productive. It was an enjoyable and helpful class and I’m glad to have been a part of it.
