Let's work together

Everyday, young people navigate an external world of uncertainty and an internal world of constant change. But imagine if we could help them build an open and courageous way to relate with their experiences— becoming agents of change in their own lives and communities. That’s what we’re thrilled to do with leading organizations that support and center youth.

Discover a new vision of youth leadership

We see the need for a shift to a deeply-rooted, community-centered vision of leadership that is less about a predetermined set of skills and activities, and more about helping young people develop the internal processes to address daily challenges and opportunities in an open, curious and kind way.

That’s why, in collaboration with our partner, Amadeus, we’ve co-created a model, called Armonía, that expands leadership into a journey of becoming—a daily choice grounded in values and vitality.
