3. OUR VISION
teach youth life skills
Our mission is to help build confident, smart and financially responsible
youth. Our education system lacks instruction of some important life
skills to students. Our classrooms are overcrowded and focused on STEM
courses (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Students need
focused supplemental training in the vital life skills that make a great
impact in shaping their lives. We look for partners around the world who
are aligned with our vision so that we can offer an opportunity to teach
these life skills to every student. We constantly look to improve our
courses by adopting the changing needs of youth and incorporating
education research and the feedback of parents.
