Work-Based Learning

Our Work-Based Learning experiences focus on the specific leadership skills needed for success in the 21st century.

Overview

Strive Work-Based Learning experiences utilize the same leadership competencies you see in our other experiences and applies them to the work place. From understanding how to communicate effectively with a supervisor, or how to engage in constructive feedback, prioritizing leadership in work-based learning is a win for everyone involved.

“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

“(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.”
