a mentorship program for teens
WHO WE ARE
Strive Now addresses a critical gap in youth development: the disconnect between academic/career readiness and the personal character attributes essential for long-term success in life, education, and leadership. In today’s fast-paced and achievement-oriented society, young people often lack the foundational habits, values, and community-based support necessary to discover and live out their purpose every day.
OUR MISSION
Strive Now empowers youth to rise above survival mode by instilling strong values, inspiring grit, and championing meaningful mentorship. Through college and career readiness programs, leadership development, and the instilling of good habits, we help young people discover purpose every day, establish a growth mindset, and build a strong community together. By providing opportunities and guidance, we equip youth to overcome negative distractions, apathy, and short-term thinking, enabling them to achieve lasting success in college, career, and life.
Building Strong Habits
and Values
Strive Now teaches foundational habits like diligence, authenticity, and integrity through targeted workshops, playbooks, and curriculum, empowering young people to take ownership of their character development.
Creating Purposeful
Community Connections
Programs like "Strive for Community" and "The Collaborative" integrate mentorship with community service, setting the right conditions to create environments where young leaders grow through meaningful relationships and purposeful action.
Equipping Youth for Success
Beyond Academics
Through practical workshops on goal setting, storytelling, leadership, and networking, Strive Now prepares students for the realities of college and career readiness while centering their efforts on core values and self-awareness.

A Comprehensive Vision of Purpose Every Day
Through its mission and programs, Strive Now focuses on bridging the gap between individual growth and societal needs, cultivating leaders who prioritize their values, habits, and community contributions in all aspects of their lives.
