Honor Retreat
Educators

 

A community-building experience that fosters relational trust by transforming school staff into a cohesive team that values and honors each other and the mission of their school.
Prepare for Your Honor Retreat
We help staff to affirm and acknowledge the contributions
of their colleagues and to focus in a common
direction: the students.
“In 36 years of education, I feel we have more cohesiveness than ever before. This feeling is attributed to the workshop Youth Frontiers presented today.”
