YouthMax

What Is YouthMax?

YouthMAX is a youth leadership curriculum, designed to give today’s young people practical tools and ideas to help them navigate life in four key areas:

1. Stand Up & Be Counted (Stop Bullying)

2. Learning to Fail Forward to Success

3. Developing a Positive Self-Image

4. Developing Strong Personal Character.

Learning To Fail Towards Success

  • Most teens believe that all failure is bad and should be avoided. In fact, failing is the most important part of success.
  • Those who fear failure will not take the steps to fail forward.
  • YouthMAX will provide youth with facts about failure, how to failcorrectly and how to move forward to success after failure.

Stand Up And Be Counted

  • 1 in 7 students in Grades K-12 is either a bully or a victim of bullying.
  • 1 out of every 10 students who drops out of school does so because ofrepeated bullying.
  • YouthMAX will help equip youth to take responsibility, to help others,and be a hero by righting a wrong.
  • YouthMAX will equip youth to stand up, lift up and pick up others.

Developing Strong Personal Character

A survey released by the Josephson Institute of Ethics on the values and ethical actions of high school students shows:

  • A majority of students admitted cheating on a test, with many doing itmore than two times.
  • Students even confessed they lied on some of the survey questions,which the Josephson Institute said is typically an attempt to conceal misconduct.
  • YouthMAX will equip youth to form/build character by aligning values,thoughts, feelings, and actions to help ensure victories in their lives, both now and in the future.
  •  YouthMAX will reinforce the thought process that developing goodcharacter traits is the best insurance for handling difficult days in the future through determination rather than discouragement.

Developing A Positive Self-Image

  • Positive self-image can be the greatest determining factor in success.
  • Positive self-image does not begin with what we do or what we have,it begins with who we are and who we think we are.
  • Positive self-esteem helps teens cope with emotional stress; thiscorrelates with success in later life.
  • Confidence and the willingness to try new challenges can lead teens togreater academic success, earning scholarships and/or receiving other learning opportunities.
  • YouthMAX will help youth understand the importance of self-image.
  • YouthMAX will offer ways to develop a positive self-image throughself-respect.
