Our Programs

All our programs may be presented virtually or in-person.

Our in-person or virtual workshops, tours and speaker series provide a vehicle for students to develop college and career readiness skills. Students choose the themes for our program which ranges from climate change, teen suicide and mental wellness, to human trafficking (to name a few).

“… workshops challenge students from different schools, regions and countries to think critically around real issues that affect real lives; as a result they develop leadership and team building skills; and through the process, they gain a voice and feel empowered."
Parent, Advisor, Donor – Jill Foster

"[This program] builds character and helps you learn to be yourself."
Ricardo S.
Kennedy High School
"I thought it was going to be a sit and listen, but when I got here it exceeded my expectations because we were doing hands-on work...it was more interactive than what I expected it to be."
Nhkayiah G.
Student at Washington Leadership Academy
“The students feel empowered to step up and to talk with each other as intellectual equals, as co-collaborators, in a way that I think for some of them, they’re not used to thinking of themselves that way. I think that’s really valuable.”
THINK DESIGN WORKSHOP
English Teacher, Wootton High School
“I think this (Sustainability Challenge Workshop) is a really valuable program to the students. I think learning about how to do engineering and architecture in a sustainable way is going to be the key to our future.”

"In participating in the challenge, [the students learned] how renewable energy is impactful in terms of how they will live in the future, but also in future career employment."
