Pearl is a self-discovery and empowerment program that helps students explore who they are and how their strengths, values, and motivations shape their relationships, learning, and future.
Through art, reflection, and discussion, youth uncover their strengths and wisdom—and learn how to let those qualities shine at school, at home, and in their community.
Too many students slip through the cracks—feeling unseen, misunderstood, or disconnected from school.
Pearl creates spaces where every student can reflect, express, and belong. Our approach centers relationships, emotional growth, and identity development as keys to both academic success and lifelong wellbeing.
We offer coaching one-on-one as well as partner with schools, community centers, apartment buildings, and sports programs to bring creative, strengths-based learning directly to where youth already gather.
One-on-one sessions with a trained coach to help students explore identity, motivation, and next steps. Each conversation builds confidence, clarity, and self-belief.
Small groups meet weekly to explore strengths, emotions, and relationships. Through reflection, creativity, and connection, students build empathy, belonging, and voice.
We close the loop by involving teachers and staff. Students share what they’ve learned about themselves and how it shapes their learning and relationships—building stronger, more inclusive classrooms.
