Life Skills.
The skills schools can't teach.

Six life skills every teen needs before they need them — leadership, communication, confidence, money, time, and mindset. Taught the only way they stick: by doing real work in the real world.

The six skills

Start with two. Grow into all six.

Each tier expands what your teen learns and ships. Essentials anchors on Leadership and Self-Confidence — the two skills every other skill builds on. Elevate adds Communication, Time Management, or Financial Literacy. Advanced covers all six over ten months.

01
EssentialsElevateAdvanced

Leadership Development

"He started a club. Then he ran it."

How to set a vision, run a meeting, give feedback that lands, and bring people with you when nobody asked you to lead.

02
EssentialsElevateAdvanced

Self-Confidence

"He stopped saying sorry for taking up space."

The structured way to build a track record of small wins, name your strengths, and disagree with adults without freezing.

03
ElevateAdvanced

Public Speaking & Communication

"She used to look at her shoes. Now she runs the room."

Storytelling, presence, presentation craft. Live recorded talks reviewed by mentors and a stage-and-spotlight final showcase.

04
ElevateAdvanced

Time Management & Organization

"Homework. Practice. Sleep. All three, every day."

A teen-grade system for calendars, deep work, and saying no — with weekly check-ins so it actually sticks past week three.

05
ElevateAdvanced

Financial Literacy

"I read my first paycheck and actually understood it."

Earning, budgeting, taxes, credit, investing basics. Real numbers. Real spreadsheets. A real plan for a real first job.

06
Advanced

Mental Health & Healthy Mindset

"He has the words now. That changes everything."

Anxiety, focus, resilience, healthy boundaries with screens and friends — taught in a peer setting led by trained mentors.

This is peer skill-building, not therapy. We refer out when a teen needs clinical support.

What this is — and isn't

A clear scope, on purpose.

Negative space sharpens positioning. Here's what Life Skills does — and what it deliberately leaves to specialists.

It's notTherapy or clinical mental-health treatment

WHAT A TUESDAY OR SATURDAY ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

Every session, on Zoom.

Live · 8–12 teens · 1 mentor · sessions recorded

All cohort sessions are on Zoom; capstone projects happen in the teen's own community.

The arc — by tier

From "I'll try" to "I led that."

The shape of the journey changes by tier. Essentials runs 10 weeks, Elevate runs 12 weeks, Advanced runs 10 months and folds in 30 1:1 sessions and a larger community-service initiative.

Weeks 1–2

Onboarding

Goal-setting workshop, plus the first 1:1 with your teen's assigned mentor to scope a personal project alongside the cohort work.

Weeks 3–6

Five-skill sprint

Leadership, confidence, communication, time, and money taught in parallel. Real budgets, real calendars, recorded talks reviewed by mentors. 1:1s tune the work to the teen.

Weeks 7–9

Community service project

A full community-service project — fundraiser, tutoring program, or campaign — that puts the five skills into one place with stakes.

Week 10

Stage showcase

Stage-and-spotlight final talk to family, mentors, and graduates. Portfolio, certificate, and Career Skills discount.

10 weeks · 5 skills (+ Communication, Time, Money) · group + 10 1:1 sessions

Common questions

Before your teen joins a cohort.

The questions we hear most on first calls — answered here so when we talk, we can spend the time on your teen, not on logistics.

How are sessions delivered?

Every cohort session runs on Zoom — small groups of 8–12 teens, two mentors, recorded so your teen can rewatch any session. The capstone community-service project happens in your teen's own town. We do not host in-person classes.

Will my teen actually use these skills?

The community-service project is the pressure test. Every graduate ships one — a fundraiser, a tutoring program, a school campaign — and uses all six skills in public, with stakes. That's where the change locks in.

My teen is shy. Will the group format work?

Yes — the group is the medicine. Cohorts are kept small (8–12 teens) and mentors are trained to bring quieter teens into the conversation gradually. Most parents tell us the change shows up at home before it shows up in group.

How is this different from a school leadership club?

A school club meets when there's time. We meet every Tuesday, every cohort, with a structured curriculum, real-world projects, and mentors who follow up 1:1. It's the difference between a hobby and a habit.

What's the right age to start?

We open enrollment at 11. Most families start between 11 and 14 — younger teens get the longest runway, but the curriculum scales up to 17 if your teen joins later.

Is the mental health module therapy?

No. It's peer skill-building led by trained mentors — language for feelings, healthy screen and friendship boundaries, focus and resilience habits. When a teen needs clinical support, we tell you and we refer out. We do not diagnose or treat.

Can my teen continue into Career Skills after?

Yes — and most do. Life Skills graduates get a discount on Career Skills enrollment and skip the foundations module so they can dive straight into a track.

What does my teen graduate with?

A certificate of completion, a portfolio of project work and recorded talks, a discount on Career Skills and College Counseling, and our free e-book Teen Social Skills 101.

What is the refund policy?

Your 14-day refund window opens on your cohort start date, not the day you enroll — cancel within it for a full refund (less a $200 non-refundable registration fee). Beyond the 14-day window, every program also includes our outcome-based guarantees — see the full refund policy at /refund.html.
