Young Heroes keynote speaking and adaptable trainings.

Mental health… identity… the daunting complexity of the human experience... Young people are striving to discover who they are and what they can accomplish in this life. What is often overlooked, however, are the even deeper felt needs to know what we are as human beings, why we matter, and why we ought to engage in school, develop our gifts, contribute to society, and the like. In a word, young people need meaning.

Developed by social workers, therapists, and philosophical thinkers who remember well how hard being a young can be, that is why we are excited to talk with young people. Sharing a message of hope, an invitation for excellence, and a deeper more empathetic tone of empowerment than they usually hear, we are broadly prepared to help you and your youth do some big things in countless areas of life, so please just reach out to inquire about the best ways we can serve you. Academics, social issues, all aspects of mental health, bullying, identity, racism, future-building, and issues with social media are just a few areas of our in-house expertise.
