iEmpathize

To ensure that no child experiences exploitation, we train adults who work with youth-counselors, teachers, parents-with strategies and tools that enable them to empower their youth with safety strategies. Our cornerstone resource is The Empower Youth Program, an exploitation prevention resource.

Testimonials

- "The Empower Youth Program gave students tools to deal with negative pushes and pulls. We are still working with students using the program tools. This program was just what they needed."
-Director of Clear Creek Rock House, Idaho Springs, CO

"The most useful part [of The Empower Youth Program] was showing how empathy can really end exploitation if everyone contributes, and that you can always be a positive pull in another's life."
-8th grade student, Westlake Middle School, Broomfield, CO

"The Empower Youth Program was an amazing experience for my students and myself. What the program allowed the students to do was to really examine themselves and their lives and think about all the experiences they have had where they have either showed empathy or someone has empathized with them. The program let the students be open and feel free to talk about difficult topics in a safe space. What I really enjoyed about the program was just the fact that with the curriculum, it made it possible for students to want to share and hear others' stories. We were able to build a stronger community in the classroom because of the program. Overall, the program has left the students with a stronger sense of themselves and how to put themselves in 'other's shoes' and truly empathize."
