When it comes to young people, EVERYBODY is key stakeholder.

Identifying and leveraging the diverse perspectives of communities is fundamental in combating unconscious bias.

When a community creates together, the social skills of all get stronger.

Social Emotional Growth Through the A.R.E.A.S.

We firmly believe that a thriving community is made up of individuals who are strong in the following skills:

ACCOUNTABILITY:
The ability to accept responsibility for your actions.

RESILIENCY:
The ability to recover from or adjust to change.

EMPATHY:
The ability to be aware of another’s perspective.

ADVOCACY:
The ability to communicate your beliefs, wants, or needs.

SELF-REGULATION
The ability to maintain control over your actions.

What we use to produce, or amplify what we want to express.

The tool we use to fill in the blanks and gaps that manifest themselves through exploration.

Every concrete element of the human self (eyes, ears, heart, fingers,etc.)

The use of 1 or more of our senses to understanding of our surroundings.

That inner drive to build capacity or to strive for self improvement.
