About Step Forward

#PassionDiscovery

Step Forward is all about helping teens discover their passion. Today’s world seems to narrowly define success for teens, but other than a small segment of athletically gifted, cosmetically attractive, or academically driven students, society tacitly implies that any other pursuits are second-class or somehow unimportant. Step Forward tries to fill this gap by showing teens a vast world of possibility and potentially unlocking hidden talents or interests. Our community-centric programming draws from professionals, local businesses, and volunteers to coach and mentor teens in a variety of opportunities related to the arts, creative pursuits, entrepreneurial concepts, and life-skills that motivate teens to “get passionate” about something with hands-on exposure, during what we believe is a critical discovery phase of each teen’s life. So just a few of the many multi-disciplinary Step Forward programming examples are music therapy painting, antique furniture restoration, recording-artist, farmer’s markets, sign-language, autism-care-givers, and much more.
