SEA Leaders Training Institute

03/24/2026

Thank you to the Jordan YMCA for having us this weekend.

We had the opportunity to connect with an amazing group of teens and talk about overcoming obstacles, making better decisions, and really thinking before reacting.

One thing we always see is this: when young people are given the space to be real, they show up. They open up. And they grow.

This is the work that matters. Not just telling them what to do—but helping them understand who they are becoming and how their choices shape their future.

We are grateful for the opportunity and look forward to continuing to pour into our youth and community.
