Through our trained coaches, we introduce students to the Five Key Commitments—pursuing goals, growing through challenges, collaborating with others, building positive self-identity, and using good judgment. These principles empower students to excel in school and beyond, with 73% of participants reporting increased academic confidence after three or more years in our program. The School Program is an essential part of our mission to provide life-changing opportunities to young people, fostering leadership, resilience, and confidence that will last a lifetime.
