DisRUPtors' ACADEMY
Cultivating youth leaders today to become the change agents of tomorrow
DisRUPtors' Academy is a 16-week cohort model youth training program that utilizes project-based learning and experiential learning methods to develop youth leaders. Through mentorship, civic engagement and advocacy training, entrepreneurial development, financial literacy, and professional exposure, DisRUPtors' Academy will equip under-resourced youth to identify community issues and generate positive solutions.
The first cohort is set to launch in September 2024. To ensure that our programming and curriculum are responsive to the needs of marginalized Michigan youth, we are currently piloting mini-lessons, soliciting feedback, and presenting our work to youth-led and centered organizations. If your organization works with youth and may be interested in collaboration, please complete the form below and we will be in touch shortly.
We are also seeking sponsors and partners. Please submit your interest here.

Humaning and movement work is challenging and unique because it requires one to both do personal and professional work while having to navigate often traumatic and harmful circumstances. Rooted in Restorative Justice principles, we support organizations and coalitions/collaboratives in facilitating difficult internal and external conversations. These conversations may be private as in conflict among coalition members or ideological impasses that must be overcome to effectively continue to progress. They may also be public as in a panel with dissenting panelists. We have you covered. Complete the form below and we will be in touch shortly.
In addition to our advocacy trainings we provide training that support people in being in right relationship with themselves, their community, and their surroundings.
Topics covered:
-
Emotionally Intelligent Communication - The Art of Gracefully & Firmly Communicating Boundaries

Silently Telling Your Story - Personal Branding for Career Advancement
