✅ A Work Ethic That Sets Them Apart – Your teen will develop discipline, leadership, and confidence to stand out in job interviews and the workplace.
✅ Real-World Networking & Professionalism – They’ll attend live networking events with business leaders and learn how to communicate like a pro in any setting.
✅ Hands-On Leadership Training – Weekly sessions will push them beyond their limits and train them to take ownership of their future.

Battlefield High School Health & P.E. Teacher and Leadership Teacher
Carmen and Nick, I loved having you guys in, and I think the kids loved what you are about. They’re still talking about the pushups at 7:30 am :)
I had the opportunity to be on the Sunday morning call last week and presented Carmen and Nick with a hurdle I was trying to overcome with my emotional reactions and my son.
I’m very open when I going through something emotionally and I was afraid I was becoming a negative influence to my son because of my struggle with regulating my emotions consistently.
One of the things they suggested besides being open with how I’ve feeling and what I’m going through is to be clear about what I’m doing to resolve these emotions in the moment.
It never even occurred to me that I could turn those moments into learning coping mechanisms for him.
Because Of Why has already been a turning point in becoming a strong parent… it just takes consistency, intention and time.

Because of Why Growth Explorers High School Volunteers
Having the honor of collaborating with Because of Why was such a genuine experience that we valued truly. Having our volunteers also work with them, we have heard nothing but good things from our volunteers with this experience and we could sincerely not have done it without Nick and Carmen's support and chance of opportunity! The experience of collaborating with them was extremely fun, helping the kids, teaching, and having fun nothing but enjoyable. Amazing job to both Nick and Carmen for making an open and welcoming environment to us, our volunteers, and of course the kids! You could tell the kids were genuinely enjoying their time while learning imperative skills that will help them throughout their future. Thank you, Because of Why team, for the opportunity!
