Tenets

EmpowerMeant is led by 3 central tenets:

insight-unite-light

Insight: You’ll be challenged to gain knowledge into yourself so you can be known

  • Each week of programming has been carefully designed to spark self-discovery with topics that are research-backed and include things like friendship, communication, stress management, values, fear, and the importance of fun

  • You’ll engage in weekly “impactions”—actions engineered for impact—that are meant to challenge you and help instill the foundational knowledge of who you are

Unite: You’ll belong to a cohort of your peers that will become your allies and accomplices

  • You’ll bring a trusted adult to the program for support while you evolve, and the other adults in your cohort are there for support, as well

  • Once you complete the program, you’ll have the option of being included in the Meantorship program, which enables you to both be supported by and encourage others either previously or currently engaged with EmpowerMeant

Light: You’ll become grounded in who you are so you can bring your light to the world

  • Upon completion of the program, you’ll tell your story so you can experience what it’s like to truly be known
