We offer two different levels of partnership so organizations can engage the work in ways that match their capacity, goals, and timelines.
Both options are grounded in the same commitments to equity, care, and non-extractive learning. The difference is not in values, but in depth of collaboration and level of facilitation support.
We work with partners to determine the approach that best supports their people, timelines, and organizational context.
Light-Touch Support
Best for partners who want to integrate the toolkits into existing programs with minimal facilitation support.
Light-touch partnerships typically include:
- Access to the wellbeing tools and toolkits
- Orientation on the purpose, values, and ethical use of the tools
- Facilitation tips and reflection prompts for staff or partners
- Optional check-ins to understand and learn from processes and adaptations
This option works well for organizations that already have strong facilitation capacity and are looking for flexible, self-guided ways to center youth wellbeing.
Deep Partnership Support
Best for partners seeking a more embedded, collaborative approach to learning and implementation.
Deep partnerships typically include:
- Access to the wellbeing tools and toolkits
- Orientation on the purpose, values, and ethical use of the tools
- Facilitation tips and reflection prompts for staff or partners
- Optional check-ins to understand and learn from processes and adaptations
This option works well for organizations that already have strong facilitation capacity and are looking for flexible, self-guided ways to center youth wellbeing.
A Simple Implementation Pathway
Our implementation pathway is designed to help partners move thoughtfully from curiosity to action, centering relationships, reflection, and care at every stage.
1
Prepare
Our implementation pathway is designed to help partners move thoughtfully from curiosity to action, centering relationships, reflection, and care at every stage.
What this looks like:
- Orientation to the toolkit and approach
- Alignment on values, ethics, and purpose
- Planning for recruitment, timing, and facilitation
2
Engage
The toolkit is introduced and used with youth or participants through facilitated sessions and community-based activities. Engagement is designed to feel accessible, culturally relevant, and relational.
What this looks like:
- Facilitated conversations or workshops
- Reflective survey use grounded in dialogue
- Creating space for storytelling and expression
3
Reflect
Participants and partners pause to make meaning of what emerged. Reflection focuses on patterns, tensions, and insights rather than individual outcomes.
What this looks like:
- Collective sensemaking sessions
- Youth and staff reflection conversations
- Identifying strengths, gaps, and opportunities
4
Act
Insights are translated into concrete shifts in practice, programming, or organizational culture. Action is understood as iterative and ongoing.
What this looks like:
- Adjusting programs or facilitation practices
- Informing decision-making or planning processes
- Naming next steps and accountability points
5
Sustain
Partners identify ways to carry learning forward over time, embedding wellbeing into everyday practices rather than treating it as a one-time initiative.
What this looks like:
- Integrating tools into regular rhythms
- Ongoing reflection and check-ins
- Building internal capacity for continued use
