Yes! We encourage group-based learning and offer discussion prompts, challenges, and printable tools that are ideal for group use. If you’re part of an organization, church, or mentoring program, consider becoming a partner for full access.
How do I sponsor a teen?
You can sponsor one or more teens through our Powered By You campaign. Your gift covers a full year of access and supports youth from underserved communities. Sponsorships are tax-deductible and make a powerful difference in the life of a future leader.
How much time does the program require each month?
The program is designed to be flexible and accessible for busy teens. Each weekly course can be completed in about 1–2 hours total, with optional activities and challenges that can be done offline or as part of a group. Teens can go at their own pace and revisit content anytime during the month.

No special tools are required — just a device with internet access (computer, tablet, or smartphone) and a willingness to engage. All videos and materials are accessible through our online platform, and printable activities are included for offline learning. As we expand into tech and STEM topics, we’ll provide alternatives for households without access to certain tools or platforms.
