Truly Valued, Inc’s I Am Academy
I Am Academy continues to make a difference by promoting positive self-esteem, education, and character.
Sarasota, FL, December 03, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Truly Valued, Inc is excited to receive $15,000 in support for the expansion of I Am Academy from the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. This mentorship program focuses on building character, confidence, educational opportunities, and improving self-esteem in youth, as well as adults. The program develops these skills through service activities, projects and presentations, visualization of goals and networking with professionals in careers they are passionate about.
Truly Valued, Inc. has made it a priority to understand the importance of converting our actions to results to empower youth and adults in our community. Results from July 2022 show that 15 out of 24 (63%) participants said they are doing something differently that falls into one of the four pillars of building character, confidence, education opportunities, self-esteem and awareness. 23 out of 24 (96%) named something they learned that represented at least one of the four pillars, and 16 out of 24 (67%) named two things they learned that represented at least two of the four pillars.
In addition to building life skills, the program spends time focusing on group dynamics, relationships, roles in peer groups, helping students develop a growth mindset, identifying strengths and improving learning and time management strategies. Strengths, values, and passions in the context of their personal lives and leadership qualities, encouraging students to think more intentionally about their future and the impact they want to have on the world. I Am Academy will continue to serve and provide these positive resources, diverse activities, and mentorship opportunities.
The I Am Academy is made possible thanks to the support from Community Foundation of Sarasota County.
