Empowering Youth. Expanding Opportunity. Building Futures.

BOLT YOUTH

What becomes possible when a young person starts believing more is possible?

Sometimes the difference between “That's not for someone like me” and “Why couldn't that be me?” is exposure to the right opportunity, person, perspective, or experience.

BOLT Youth partners with schools and youth-serving organizations to help young people expand what they believe is possible for their lives and build the skills and confidence to take action toward it.

Exposure creates opportunity.

Young people are constantly forming beliefs about who they are, what they're capable of, and what their future can look like.

Those beliefs shouldn't be limited by what they've already been exposed to.

BOLT Youth creates interactive development experiences that introduce students to new perspectives while strengthening the personal skills that help them navigate opportunity when it appears.

We don't tell young people what their future should look like.

We help them recognize that they have the ability to build one.

What we build:

BELIEF

Helping students recognize limiting beliefs, strengthen confidence, and develop a greater sense of what's possible.

COMMUNICATION

Building the confidence to communicate, ask questions, advocate for themselves, listen, and connect with others.

LEADERSHIP

Helping students understand that leadership starts long before someone gives you a title.

RESILIENCE

Developing tools for navigating challenges, setbacks, change, and the moments when moving forward isn't easy.

OPPORTUNITY

Expanding exposure to different paths, possibilities, careers, experiences, and ways of thinking about the future.

ACTION

Helping students move beyond inspiration by identifying practical next steps they can take toward their goals.

Designed to meet students where they are.

BOLT Youth programming can be adapted for different ages, environments, and organizational goals.

Programs may include:

School Assemblies • Interactive Workshops • Leadership Development • Small-Group Experiences • Multi-Session Programs • Youth Organizations • Community Programs

Programming is customized in partnership with the school or organization to ensure the experience is appropriate for the audience and environment.

Not just a message an experience.

We want students to participate, think, question, connect, and leave with something they can actually use.

BOLT experiences incorporate conversation, activities, reflection, practical tools, storytelling, and real-world application so students aren't simply listening to someone speak at them.

They're part of the experience.

EVERY YOUNG PERSON DESERVES ACCESS TO POSSIBILITY.

Your circumstances can influence where your story begins.

They don't have to determine where it goes.

Let's create an experience that helps your students see what's possible and equips them to take the next step.
