At Teenacers, our mission is to develop teachers, coach grown-ups, and teach teens the mindset alignment practices that empower individuals, families, and teams to communicate, lead, and solve interesting problems better together. Teachers, teens, and grown-ups will learn the language tools for meaningful communication, the mindset practices that enable them to feel grounded, and the mindfulness and awareness to go through adolescence conscious, awake, and supported.
Teenacers creates meaning in the adolescent experience. It creates a container that holds the challenges that individuals face during this time of transitioning into adulthood. Teenacers also works with young adults in supporting them through major and challenging transitions in their life, while the other aspect of coaching teachers serves as mentorship and professional development for beginning teachers.
