A Promising Future offers engaging, stand-alone workshops as an extension of the impactful content from our life-skills curriculum, The Diamond Standard. These workshops are designed specifically to create dialogue and self-reflection. Your participants will have opportunities to become active agents in their own brain development and pathway to success.
For our educational partners in the faith community, we add an integrated Biblical Discussion Guide to our existing workshops. We explore the material through relevant scripture, questions to reflect on one’s faith, activities for deeper spiritual practices, and additional faith-based resources.
