Character Academy
Late High Schoolers and Young Adults (ages 16-24)
Character Matters.
It’s what motivates a person to be a force for good.
Character Academy guides young adults through personal development work to help them become people of character and positive changemakers in the world. Participants will go through a series of workshops on topics such as Adaptability, Self-compassion and Purpose designed to equip them with the timeless values needed to navigate the road ahead — whatever their chosen path.
Key Learning Objectives
PERSONAL GROWTH
Change starts within. Guided by Youth Frontiers staff and outside experts, each Character Academy workshop is designed to help participants identify their strengths, engage with their growth opportunities, and acquire the character tools needed to navigate the road of life.
POSITIVE CHANGE
People of character use their gifts to meet the world’s needs. At the end of each session Character Academy participants commit to improving their community by living out and bringing back the value of the workshop to the classroom, home, work and beyond.
