Transformational Hour

Youth will have a personal encounter with self. They will explore who they are; what makes them happy. Discover their likes or dislikes, passion, or creativity. If one is facing an identity crisis, our self-assessment will enable them to explore beliefs, self-doubts, or feelings of confusion.

Youth receive character education to help them develop character. Foster an understanding of values, to help them recognize attractive vs unattractive characteristics, and possess a reputable character. Use scenarios and activities from our workbook to role-play moral characteristics.

Youth are empowered to believe in their abilities, avoid comparison, counter negative thoughts with positive affirmations. Let go of insults, negative beliefs, rejection, and shame. Identify inaccurate or unfair labels placed on them, whether based on appearance, behavior, social groups, or other characteristics. 

Youth receive strategies to prevent and respond to bullying and stand up against discriminatory behavior. Develop critical thinking skills to help them make better choices. Learn how to confidently say "No" to things that feel uncomfortable or go against their values. 

In this training, youth will learn the difference between healthy (trust, honesty, and good communication) and unhealthy (manipulation, control, and disrespect) relationships. How to solve problems effectively in interpersonal situations. Make a healthy selection of friends, compromise, set and respect boundaries. 

Youth are empowered to accept accountability and take responsibility. Make responsible decisions, stop making excuses and blaming others for their actions. Identify problems, choose the most suitable course of action, and consider the consequences. 

This training will help youth transform their behavior, and improve conduct in school, as they learn how to use appropriate responses and reactions to conflict. They will rid attitudes, gestures, and improper verbal communication. Learn classroom etiquette, how to avoid cliques, fights, and suspension.

This training will help girls recognize their value, as they learn the importance of taking care of themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. Girls learn how to carry themselves, and respect their mind, body, and spirit. We talk wellness, personal hygiene, and being well groomed. 

In this training, youth talk using social media and apps responsibly. What is appropriate or inappropriate to post, viewing age-appropriate sites, engaging with others (strangers), and staying safe. Social Media vs Reality/Education. Respecting others privacy (photos, videos, sharing, airdrops). 

Youth talk mommy, daddy issues. Family challenges: divorce, separation, stepparents, and blended families. Balancing family problems, academic demands vs. chores (home responsibilities). Stress, crushes, and prioritizing. How these things affect them, and their daily progress.

Youth learn how to introduce and affirm themselves in 15 seconds or less to an audience, interviewer or new group of friends. What should  and shouldn't be included, and why.
