Ready Set ASPIRE

Ready Set ASPIRE, formerly known as ASPIRE Relationship Education, was founded in 2015 with a profound mission: to invest time, energy, and resources into inspiring hope, creating a culture of respect, supporting healthy lives, and helping people become who they ASPIRE to be. As optimal health advocates, our organization seeks to educate, equip, and empower individuals through holistic relationship education. In today's rapidly changing world, we believe it is more important than ever to empower young people to develop a deep understanding of healthy relationships with themselves and others.

Through collaboration with schools, clubs, community organizations, families, and mentors, Ready Set ASPIRE delivers holistic relationship education and community empowerment initiatives. Our programs are designed to provide individuals with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate the complex landscape of relationships. We utilize a primary prevention health model and social-emotional learning techniques to educate, equip, and empower individuals to fully comprehend the interconnected parts of relationships with others and themselves.

Since 2021, Ready Set ASPIRE has been teaming up with local artists, change agents, and community partners to co-host multidisciplinary workshops and events centered around creative expression and holistic relationship education. Through these unique partnerships, the Ready Set ASPIRE Team has had an opportunity to lead activities that connected youth and their families with one another, as well as with crucial support services throughout the Greater Lansing Area. Our goal is to continue this work, bringing holistic relationship education outside of the classroom and into the community in ways that educate, equip, and empower individuals of all ages to cultivate positive relationships, deepen their sense of belonging, and delve into mind-expanding experiences that propel them into a place of hope and wellness.

Your support will help us continue this work—stepping outside of traditional learning spaces to bring essential messages to our communities! Together we can continue educating, equipping, and empowering through holistic relationship education!
