Middle School Curriculum

Your students are ready to tackle life's big challenges. Our curriculum is here to provide them with the tools and skill sets needed to achieve their big goals.

Overview

Your students’ leadership development can be as intentional as the practice of math or reading. Strive’s Middle School Curriculum provides the tools to do just that. Our five module curriculum covers Foundational Self-Awareness, Empathy, Motivation, Grit and Values Exploration. We infuse social-emotional learning with the movement and rigor of athletic practices to bring your students through the process of character-driven leadership.

“Strive helped me be more confident. When I am applying to jobs, playing a sport or taking a test, I now feel like I have strategies to help be where my feet are and trust myself.”

Strive Participant

“Our training was extremely worthwhile! The activities were engaging and purposeful. I’d highly recommend Strive to anyone looking to grow leadership skills.”

Strive Participant

“(Strive) has taught me so much, not only about myself, but about other people too. I learned to step outside my comfort zone. This program has really pushed me forward in a direction that I want to go in.”

Strive Participant

“Getting out of the way and letting (our youth) lead is going to have the most profound impact on them and their social and emotional growth. (At Strive) I learned that it is important as adults that we show up, develop a relationship with them before ever trying to teach them anything and then be there to encourage and guide them on their leadership journey.”
