FOR SCHOOLS ⟡ YOUTH SERVING ORGANIZATIONS

Build the conditions
where young people can grow

We partner with schools and youth-serving organizations to strengthen relational practice through professional learning, student experiences, and long-term implementation support.

Closing the distance between values and practice 

WHEN GOOD INTENTIONS AREN’T ENOUGH

Many organizations care deeply about young people, but still find themselves relying on practices that create control, shame, or disconnection. We help communities close the gap between their relational values and what young people experience every day.

UNDERSTANDING BEHAVIOR

TRUST AND CONNECTION

ORGANIZATIONAL ALIGNMENT

ACCOUNTABILITY AND REPAIR

Move from reactive discipline to accountability and repair

Three ways to deepen relational practice.

HOW  WE  PARTNER

Our partnerships can focus on building adult capacity, creating meaningful learning experiences for young people, or embedding relational practice throughout the organization.

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING & COMMUNITY EDUCATION

Interactive learning experiences that help educators, caregivers, and youth-serving professionals understanding behavior, strengthen relational skills, and respond with greater clarity, connection, and care

STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Engaging, developmentally responsive experiences that help young people deepen self-understanding, navigate relationships, exercise agency, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. 

RELATIONAL PRACTICE & IMPLEMENTATION

Long term partnership to translate relational values into consistent practice across programs, policies, leadership, and organizational policies. 

HOW PARTNERSHIPS ARE SHAPED

Built with you. Grounded in your community.

No two communities are the same. Neither are our partnerships. Every community has its own strengths, tensions, histories, and hopes. We begin by listening to what young people and adults are experiencing, then shape the partnership around the change your community is ready to make.

PURPOSE

What are you hoping to understand, strengthen, or change?

PEOPLE

Who needs to be a part of the learning and decision making?

CONTEXT

What histories, identities, histories and relationships shape your community?

CAPACITY

What depth, pace, and level of support are sustainable right now?

The result may be a focused learning experience, a connected series, or a longer-term implementation partnership. Each engagement is designed to meet your community where it is while helping it move towards where it wants to be.

From a single
gathering to a sustained relationship.
