Your kid has something to say. We teach them how to say it.

Leadership workshops, camps, and a classroom curriculum for ages 8 to 14. Kids practice confidence, public speaking, and teamwork every single session, in front of real people, until standing up feels normal.

  • Ages 8 to 14, grouped 8 to 10 and 11 to 14
  • Groups of 12 or fewer with one coach per 6 kids
  • Every kid speaks in every session

Three ways to join

Pick the one that fits your calendar. Workshops and camps are for families. The curriculum is for the schools, churches, and after-school programs that want to run it themselves.

Workshops

Six weeks, one afternoon a week, 90 minutes

A series that runs after school or on Saturdays. Each week adds one skill, from standing still and looking up to opening a talk with a question. Week six is a showcase where every kid gives a two-minute talk to the parents in the room.

  • Ages 8 to 10 and 11 to 14 run in separate groups
  • Groups fill at 12 kids
  • New series start each fall, winter, and spring

Camps

Five days, 9 am to 3 pm, summer and school breaks

A week-long day camp built around one team project. Kids form crews on Monday, pick something real to pitch, plan, or perform, and present it to families on Friday afternoon. Mornings are skills, afternoons are the project.

  • Lunch break and two outdoor breaks every day
  • Crews of 4 with a coach checking in every rotation
  • Friday presentations are recorded for each family

What kids learn

Three things, practiced out loud. Nobody learns to speak up by listening to a talk about speaking up, so most of every session is kids on their feet.

Confidence

Walk into a room and take up your spot in it.

  • Stand still, feet planted, hands out of pockets
  • Look at one person, then another, then the back of the room
  • Notice nerves, name them, and start anyway
  • Flop, laugh, and go again the same day

Public speaking

Say the thing so people understand it the first time.

  • Build a two-minute talk with a hook, one point, and a landing
  • Use volume and pauses instead of speed
  • Answer a question without saying "um" for the first five seconds
  • Introduce yourself to an adult and shake hands

Teamwork

Lead a group without bossing it.

  • Listen long enough to repeat back what a teammate said
  • Split up a job so every person owns a piece
  • Give feedback as one glow and one grow
  • Disagree, vote, and back the decision

Ages 8 to 10

More games, shorter talks, and a lot of pair work before anyone stands in front of the whole group. The goal by the end of a series is a one-minute talk about something they love, delivered looking up.

Ages 11 to 14

Real stakes: pitching an idea, running a meeting, handling a tough question from the audience. The goal is a two-minute talk with a point of view, and leading a crew of four through a project without doing it all themselves.

How a 90-minute session runs

Same shape every week, so kids know what is coming and spend their energy on the work instead of the worry.

  1. 10 min

    Circle up

    Everyone sits in one circle and says one thing they did this week that was a little bit brave. No passing.

  2. 15 min

    Skill of the day

    A coach demonstrates the skill badly, then well. Kids call out the difference. That becomes the checklist for the day.

  3. 30 min

    Practice rounds

    Pairs, then groups of four, then the whole room. Every kid speaks in every round and gets one glow and one grow from a teammate.

  4. 25 min

    Team challenge

    A problem the crew has to solve together with a role for each kid: leader, timekeeper, builder, and reporter. Roles rotate every week.

  5. 10 min

    Share-out

    The reporter from each crew tells the room what they made and what went wrong. Each kid writes one goal for next week in their journal.

Questions parents ask

My kid is shy. Is this for them?

Yes. Most kids who join start out quiet. In the first session nobody stands up alone; speaking grows from a partner, to a group of four, to the room, over several weeks. Coaches never call on a kid cold.

Do parents stay during sessions?

No. Kids practice more freely without an audience of parents. You are invited to the showcase in week six, and to the Friday presentations at camp.

What should my kid bring?

Nothing for workshops. For camp, a packed lunch, a water bottle, and shoes they can run in. We provide the journal and all project materials.

Who are the coaches?

Teachers, theater educators, and youth coaches who complete our two-day facilitator training and a background check. Every group has at least two adults in the room.

Can a school run this without your staff?

Yes. That is what the licensed curriculum is for. Your own teachers or program leaders run the sessions after training, and we check in each month during the first year.
