I AM A
STAND OUT
I AM A Stand OUT is a powerful keynote that empowers students to recognize their value, build confidence, strengthen character, and develop the relationship and leadership skills that help them rise above the crowd. This message challenges young people to move beyond blending in and instead show up with purpose, integrity, and a strong sense of self. Audiences leave encouraged to stand out through their mindset, choices, communication, and impact.
Developing Champion Readers
Empowering our youth, especially our black and brown males with the tools to become literate, plays a vital role in decreasing behavior problems within schools as well as dismantling the school to prison pipeline.
We believe that reading is the gateway to endless possibilities. Our program ignites a love for reading by introducing students to captivating stories, sharing the joy of literature, and inspiring a lifelong passion for knowledge.
Mental Health Well Being & Adverse Childhood Experiences
We create a safe space for students to explore their emotions and develop a growth mindset.
Through thought-provoking discussions and character development exercises, we instill values such as empathy, integrity, and respect. Students learn the importance of personal responsibility, leadership, and making wise choices in spite of the difficulties that may be surrounding them. Students are also able to explore bully prevention methods and bully self awareness.
