Play to Your Strengths' youth programs were developed over a decade ago in response to a mental health crisis among students. We asked the question: What if we utilized strengths philosophy to help students discover their unique talents and use them to make a positive difference in the world? Recent articles in academic journals support the potential of strengths philosophy to help youth grow in social-emotional learning objectives and resilience.

We served over 300 students in 2024 with mostly volunteers. To reach 1,000, we need to grow our team.

The need is greater than ever. In the United States, nearly 16,000 young people decide that life is not worth living annually. That is 300 a week. We want to expand our programming and partner with other non-profits already working with kids to make suicide unthinkable.When young people see themselves as leaders, they imagine new possibilities.
