What would life look like if your teen had more self confidence?

If they could realize their endless possibilities?

If they took responsibility for their life and their actions?

Without a doubt, teenage years can be tough for both parents and kids. These days teens are faced with tremendous expectations and stress from school, peers and social media. Teenagers are full of self doubt and, as parents ourselves, we know there is no real road map for how to ‘do’ these formative years. The daily stress of academia and peer pressure combined with physical and hormonal changes can be a lot to navigate.

You want the best for your child. We do, too.

We help kids unlock their unlimited potential by giving them the tools to believe in themselves and to overcome the challenges that they face. Our workshop will help them discover who they really are and how the experiences they have had affect the choices they make. They will learn that they have the ability to choose differently will gain the confidence they need to improve their sense of self.

We offer a 2 day workshop for teenagers ages 13-17 years old where we will explore, as a group, how to ‘be with’ who they are & excel in their lives, even at a young age. We will work with your teen to coach around techniques (through instruction, guided discussions and experiential learning exercises) to help them be successful in life and become leaders. Your teen will gain insight into self appreciation, self talk & self belief which will serve them for the rest of their lives.

They will also take home a packet, specifically designed for our workshop, to remind them of the techniques and exercises they have learned. We will also encourage them to use our forum to discuss issues with other teenagers so that they have somewhere to get support and advice on any subjects they wish to discuss. We build a community of kids who lift each other up.

The Synergy Teen Basic can be a vital step in building your teen’s future. Our delivery is given in a very safe space and there is no pressure on your teen to speak in front of the room if they choose not to. Our goal is to provide maximum value, support and to ensure that the teens enjoy their weekend and get empowered in the process.

We currently offer our program in New York City and in Poughkeepsie, NY. If you have other locations where you would like to see the SYE program offered please email us.

Teens

Does this sound like you?

• You’re curious about how your mind works & why you do some of the things you do?

• You wonder what your potential is?

• How your thinking influences your emotions & behavior?

• You’d like to take control of negative thoughts, feelings & behavior.

• You’d like to to get your mind and your thoughts working for you, not against you.

• You want to feel better about yourself and identify ALL the great things about you!

• You would like to become a better communicator.

• You’re curious to learn about the importance of self-respect.

  This 2 day workshop will be fun, while also challenging you to think a bit differently. We will be doing different activities from working in small groups to journaling so the best thing to do is to come with an open mind.

  You will NEVER have to speak about anything you don’t feel comfortable discussing and you don’t need to have any particular reason for coming. Everyone can learn something useful from the Synergy Teen Basic.

  We were all teenagers once, too, and we get how stressful new situations can be. We won't make you do anything too crazy AND— we have lots of snacks.

  Overall, you will gain a better understanding of yourself which will help you to better understand those around you, like your family and friends. You will learn skills that will help you to achieve more and be successful in life, no matter what your age is!

We look forward to seeing you there!

 Organizations

Are you part of a youth centered organization looking to bring the work we do to your kids?

There are many programs that provide information to our kids, but they do not change behavior. Finding an educational program that is engaging to teens AND provides results is a challenge.

With over 30 years of experience, the Synergy Youth Empowerment team provides solutions that help teens (including at-risk youth) to think deeply about their motivations and life experiences and to learn how connecting with others can create significant change.

The Synergy Teen Basic is 2 day workshop for teenagers ages 13-17 years old where we will explore, as a group, how to ‘be with’ who they are & excel in their lives. We will work with your teens to coach around techniques (through instruction, guided discussions and experiential learning exercises) to help them be successful in life and become leaders among their peers and in the community.

Here are the ways you can partner with us:

• We offer the Synergy Basic workshop multiple times a year and in multiple locations in the NYC area. This is a 2 day hands-on workshop that effectively gives your teens the confidence and tools to make healthy choices with their behavior, managing stress, and peer pressure.

• Create customized workshops tailored to the needs of your teens and your organization. Length of time, programming and locations can be fine-tuned to craft the most impactful program for your kids.

• The Synergy Education team offers consulting for both long and short-term projects. We are open to consulting with non-profits, corporations, schools and government agencies for both adult and youth programs.
