GROW (Global Resiliency Outreach Work)

GROW (Global Resiliency Outreach Work) GROW provides innovative programs to at risk youth that foster emotional resiliency and broaden life

How it works

We conduct ongoing (process) groups to provide a safe place for students to air grievances, learn to accept and provide support and develop life long tools to resolve conflict, manage emotions and clear the way to optimize performance (in and out of the classroom) and more importantly, live a fulfilling life.

“ I realized that everyone struggles in life, just like me.......you’ve he

lped me overcome my fears and realize the truth about my life and me.”
-7th grader

We also partner with schools to tailor individualized enrichment programs to address specific issues (i.e. violence, lack of parental involvement, lack of budget for basic supplies, etc). These programs may take the form of a dance club, outdoor education, a drama club, a music program. They are designed to offer kids another venue for inclusion in a tight knit community, and strengthen confidence, communication skills, all critical building blocks in fostering resiliency in kids.
