- THE FUTURE U is the anwser!

A series of 12 weekly group zoom calls, tailor–made for young adults (age 12–19) just like you! Small groups – approximately four-six teens per session.
We meet weekly via Zoom for goal setting, accountability, physical wellness and learning new skills and emotional resources.
For participants to assume 100% responsibility for their lives, set goals, take action, be accountable, autonomous and bold within the framework of a community.
At the start of each week’s class, we set a timer for one minute of silence and intention setting for the hour ahead. This reinforces the practice to set a positive intention before the start of each new activity.
Each week students are introduced to new fitness workouts with demonstrations for proper form and technique. The assignments encourage the students to be active throughout the week and make movement a priority. Assignments can range from walking, jogging, abdominal workouts, jump rope, body weight exercises such as push ups and sit ups, and using free applications to complete structured workouts online.
During the personal check-in and goal setting portion of the course, each student sets three goals for the week and reports on what goals they accomplished from the prior week. If they had challenges or did not complete the goals, we discuss the reasons why. This weekly practice teaches the students how to properly set and verbally state their goals as well as how to be accountable to themselves and the group.
Each week we focus on a new lesson from our 12 week syllabus. The topics range from mindset to written communication and listening to your inner voice. We present timely, engaging, relevant lessons followed by an explanation of learning lab exercises to be completed during the next seven days where students get to put the lessons into practice. Each Class participants discuss how they utilized the information from the prior week’s learning lab in their lives, discussing their personal experiences and building a community with their Future U peers. These discussions are a favorite among the participants and facilitators.
Any remaining questions are answered during the last five minutes of class. Students close the group with positive affirmations, words of encouragement or short fun group exercises. The hour always ends on an uplifting, jovial and constructive note to set participants up for a successful week ahead.
