We give schools the insights they need to help Black, Brown, and Indigenous students succeed. We assess core areas that could jeopardize their success, provide brief, self-efficacy, evidenced-based, measurable solutions and provide project-based learning wrapped in cultural sensitivity to expand their voices to the world.

Our programs include the Resilient Stars Program which uses engaging psychoeducation lessons on the STARS (self-awareness, tenacity, attention, reframing negatives and retaining positives, and Strategic planning). Students analyze culturally relevant case studies, participate in role plays with coaches/counselors, and complete in-session reflections based on self-efficacy. 

• Individual sessions are 1 x30 min weekly.
• Group sessions are 1 x 90 min monthly. 
• We offer both virtual and in-person sessions.

Our project-based learning includes: 

• Virtual pan lessons and virtual speech contests.

Eligibility	We provide services to both public and carter schools serving K-12 students living in Essex County New Jersey.
