Grow Wise

Our goal is to give as many young people as we can the tools to live an easier and more fulfilling life as they enter adulthood. We aim to teach, help, and inspire students and young people. We will use a range of methods to achieve this. We are confident this will contribute to a higher quality of life for all people affected by our project.

Our Social Issue

Young people being uninformed about crucial life skills as they enter adulthood, this lack of knowledge can lead to a low quality of life.

Why We Chose It

We chose this social issue as we feel highly passionate about this topic. We noticed there is a lack of education of key life skills in the school environment. We saw students being over worked with information they don’t feel they need to live happy lives. We spent our first 3 weeks of our project choosing the perfect social issue that we want to tackle, then brainstorming it and planning our innovations. We want to improve students and young people's lives, teach them and give them the information and skills they will need in young adulthood.

Our Goal

Our big goal is to improve young people's lives. We hope to achieve this through teaching and informing young adults and students in a safe and fun environment. Our aim is to teach a wide range of life skills people need in young adulthood. The type of skills that are typically underdeveloped among people in our age group. We teach crucial life skills that are not being taught in the school curriculum. We hope to achieve a population more educated in essential life skills, thanks to our project. We are confident this goal will be achieved in the coming years.
