Friends 1.0: For kids, finding their “true north” involves discovering the values, traits, talents, and things that they enjoy, and helps kids understand who they are and what makes them unique. This workshop is designed to use games and activities to help kids recognize their own strengths and limitations and foster a well-grounded sense of confidence and purpose.

Making new connections is learned and practiced in multiple fun and interactive ways, with a focus on understanding the important differences between fitting in and belonging.
