Create a life of hope, success, and achievement!

When the SKYWORD™ training game and curriculum is brought into Community Centers and Service Organizations it provides an invaluable tool to help teens, young adults, parents, service staff and the community at large to create a life of hope, success, and achievement. Nothing builds more confidence and self-worth more than when a person sets their own goal and achieves it! The joy and excitement can go a long ways! That's what SKYWORD is designed to do. It doesn't matter if the person starts the training feeling inferior, having low expectations, is in and out of trouble, or is looking to achieve something great in their life, SKYWORD helps them discover how to break away from limiting self-perceptions and reframe their thinking so they develop the right mindset for success. When implemented in the community, the SKYWORD curriculum can be used in a variety ways. For example, it can be used to complement a:

  • Program to help with drug and alcohol prevention
  • Community parenting classes
  • Program to help community teens and young adults in all walks of life
  • Program to mitigate youth-to-prison
  • Program to help teens on varying paths or an at-risk population

Special Emphasis: Teens on Varying Paths

Of particular emphasis are teens who are on varying paths. The goal for most programs is to help reduce truancy, dropout rates,  gang activity, crime, drug abuse, recidivism, and other unfavorable conditions. No one program can solve it. The feelings of despair and hopelessness that the teens can experience can be so daunting that the only way out is to find power and self-esteem in violence or in being a part of gang. Unfortunately, they will keep repeating what they are doing unless someone brings to their attention how much their thoughts, beliefs, and self-perceptions are what keeps them stuck where they are today. By adding the SKYWORD training game and curriculum to your program, you give them a way out. You show them that for change to happen on the outside, it must begin on the inside first. And that they already have the power within to make that happen. By going through the process, they learn how to build the mental strength to change their condition, albeit showing up to school or getting a job. When they start seeing little victories occur, it starts giving them a new sense of confidence, self-esteem, and hope. And their hope for a better future can carry over in their homes, their schools, and their communities. When it does, our world becomes a better place for everyone to achieve their potential.
