2 powerful, propellant programs.

1 for t(w)eens and 1 for parents!

Hey Parent! Do your thoughts ever go here?

  • "I want to protect my child from heartache...but have I lost touch with how to prepare them?"
  • "My child is really defiant and impulsive.... or are they ready for independence and to grow their confidence and resilience?"
  • "My child who doesn’t want to step out of their comfort zone...will they ever earn a living?" 

Students! Maybe you've felt like this?

  • I don't really know how to answer "What do you want to do after high school?"...
  • I have dreams of an awesome future...but don't think it's realistic for me
  • I am tired of other people telling me what I should do with my life
  • I like trying new things....but sometimes I feel nervous to show up at first
  • I think owning by own business could be cool...but I don't even know how to start thinking about that
  • I want to do something different this summer....but have no idea what

Identify with any of these statements? 

This program bundle and co-learning experience was created for you!

 

LET'S DO THIS!

2 coaches with proven programs

Meet Michelle

Child life specialist & Family consultant

I help parents feel in control and confident with practical tips and parenting strategies.

"Your child wants to feel heard, but you don’t feel heard yourself.  Your child wants it their way ALL THE TIME – and it’s beginning to feel like they’re running the house. 

You love your child dearly but something has to change fast!

With my individual parenting consultations I offer practical tips and resources to help you feel empowered in your parenting journey. Children don’t come with a manual, my services are the next best thing."

 

Meet Jess

Educator, Multi-passionate entrepreneur

Founder and CEO of The Youth Empowerment Projectā„¢ and creator of "Foundations for the Futureā„¢" virtual empowerment program

"The YOU Power Projectā„¢ was born out of my belief that today’s students deserve to be inspired, empowered, and equipped to succeed in life. Our workforce is constantly evolving, and as a former teacher, I know our schools can’t keep up with the changing demands and expectations.Ā 

I’ve always known I had multiple, diverse interests and skills. I attended Teacher’s CollegeĀ andĀ theatre school! I worked in a traditional job as a teacherĀ andĀ built my own thriving businesses as an entrepreneur. No one has to be defined by a job title, and I want our young people to find their passion(s), develop their confidence, and experience all this beautiful world has to offer!"

For youth ages 12-18..."Foundations for the Futureā„¢"

"We're tired of Zoom and Virtual Classes. Summer is for FUN!"

Summer IS for fun, and it's also for exploring andĀ growing!

Did you know students lose between 17-34% of the content learned over the school year when they take summers completely off??

It's important to look for opportunities to keep our minds active- that's why we do the virtual thing differently.Ā 

For students, our Foundations for the Futureā„¢ program goes way beyond what's covered in the Careers course in high school, and will have youth offĀ their screens as well as on

Your experienceĀ in the program will have you...

Moving

Our program activities include things like live yoga sessions, daily writing, conversation, and creative thinking prompts- all encouraging you to get outside and look at your surroundings a little differently. 

Thinking Creatively

Creative thinking doesn't just apply to artists- it's one of THE most valuable skills to have as an entrepreneur. You'll be offered lots of opportunity to develop your creative problem solving skills!

Networking

You'll have a team of guest speakers all sharing their stories and opportunities you may have never heard of, from people who've followed their dreams and are making an impact on the world!

+ Virtual TR support for your child is included in the program!

The Youth Empowerment Project and Recreational Respite have developed a special relationship. We have trained a small team of TR's to faciliate the program with students who could benefit from some specialized support. Together, we've worked out some modifications to the program so ALL students can earn their certificate of completion! Virtual TR facilitated group sessions will begin on Saturday, April 9th and continue for 8 weeks
