Our
Mission

Our program empowers grades 5-12 students from diverse backgrounds by prioritizing wellness and its link to sustainable growth and continued success.

Through Holistic Wellness Practices, namely nutrition, preventive healthcare, meditation, movement, emotional intelligence and financial wellness we address systemic barriers.

Our mission is to equip students with the tools and support to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally, ensuring they are prepared to excel academically and in life.

Issues We Address

Closing the SEL Gap with Holistic Leadership Development

Support student growth through social-emotional learning, intentional movement, mindset development, financial literacy and self-care. Our program equips students with the tools to manage emotions, build positive relationships, and take responsibility for their personal well-being—laying the foundation for strong leadership and life readiness.

Lack of Positive Male Mentorship

Many students navigate adolescence without consistent guidance from relatable male role models.

Behavioral and Emotional Dysregulation

Students often lack the tools to manage emotions, leading to disciplinary issues and strained relationships.

Field Trips

Our field trips are designed to offer students an immersive, hands-on experience with top-tier wellness practices while giving them a behind-the-scenes look at the business side of said industry. From visiting a strength & conditioning gym where professional athletes train, to exploring a recovery studio with sports massages and cold plunge therapies, students will gain insight into the routines that promote peak well-being.

Acting as “big brothers,” we guide the young men in navigating academic, emotional, and mental challenges, ensuring they continue to grow and thrive beyond the program.

IV Wellness Drip

for Staff

As part of every 8-week (or longer) partnership, we offer a complimentary IV therapy session through our wellness brand, Kurve Lab Recovery, for one administrator or staff member of the school’s choice.

While our primary mission is to uplift students, we
recognize that sustainable impact begins with a
supported and energized staff. Educators and
administrators are on the front lines every day and
we believe in pouring into those who pour into our
youth.

A recharged staff helps carry the Blueprint forward—even when we’re not in the room.

These IV drips are administrated by a licenced
