 The Challenge: Turning the tough, transition, teenage years into triumphant years​

The Strategy: Working with parents, educators, and leaders to create powerful social environments that liberate youth potential through superior self-management. Our primary focus is teenagers 13 years to 18 years old.

The Commitment: We study home, school, and community environments.  We examine how they affect youth self-worth, behavior, self-management, and learning. We develop and share strategies for creating effective environments in three main ways. 1) We conduct research. 2) We enhance knowledge and skills. 3)  We diagnose social environments to customize improvement strategies.
