WHO YOU ARE
You are a champion of youth! You are a teacher, a coach, a mentor, a non-profit/charity leader, a youth worker, a volunteer, a parent, anyone who aims to lift up and empower youth.
WHAT YOU NEED
You need another voice, another set of hands and a diverse curriculum to engage, educate and empower the youth you work with. You need engagement opportunities that are short duration and flexible.

WHO YOU ARE
You are a champion of youth! You are a teacher, a coach, a mentor, a non-profit/charity leader, a youth worker, a volunteer, a parent, anyone who aims to lift up and empower youth.
WHAT YOU NEED
You need another voice, another set of hands, additional strength-based curriculum to engage, educate and empower the youth you work with. You need long-term engagement, in which your circle of youth are immersed in ShEvalesco life-skill programming in a sustainable, ongoing manner.
WHAT WE DO
ShEvalesco works collaboratively with you to leverage our evidence-based curriculum and develop a tailored, long-term program for your youth. Together, we set a schedule for workshops that allow youth to be consistently engaged in the subject matter, and develop trust and rapport with facilitators.
HOW IT WORKS
Talk to us! We want to better understand your needs, wants and gaps in terms of youth engagement, and we will tailor our partnership accordingly. Some of our existing partnerships involve weekly workshops over the course of a year, some involve monthly workshops, and some involve quarterly weekend events. We understand that every organization’s needs are unique; let’s get creative!

USE OUR CURRICULUM
WHO YOU ARE
You are part of an organization dedicated to educating and empowering youth! You may be a part of a primary or secondary school, community centre, charity or non-profit, youth employment program, leadership group — any organization that aims to lift up and empower youth.
WHAT YOU NEED
You hear the call for youth needing more “real life” education that better prepares them for the world around them, and your organization needs access to an evidence-based, interactive and youth-focused life-skill curriculum that answers this call. You are comfortable implementing and facilitating the program, but you don’t have the internal capacity or expertise to develop your own programming. You value engagement, impact and empowerment of the youth you work with.
WHAT WE DO
ShEvalesco is excited to announce the launch of our new curriculum licensing program; United for YOUth: Curriculum for Real Life. Our mission is to provide youth with access to best-in-class life skill curriculum by building collaborative, sustainable partnerships with youth-serving organizations and communities.
HOW IT WORKS
United for YOUth provides best-in-class life skill curriculum to organizations and communities who educate, uplift and inspire youth.
Developed by subject matter experts with extensive youth facilitation history, our ready-to-use, evidence-based, youth-centred curriculum is effective and engaging. By partnering with organizations and communities who are already serving youth, we can get “real life” education into the hands of more youth.
By licensing the curriculum, partners have access to the resources, materials and support needed to facilitate the program directly with youth. To learn more, please click the button below.
