Project Description
Life Academy program empowers youths 14-18 with a weekly one-hour soft skills workshop per classroom in the eighth and ninth grades in public high schools. The design of the courses was created with the mentorship of Columbia University, NY. We facilitate 40 workshops for each grade every year and measure students self-reflection and well-being before and after the program.
