InnerView Education

“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” - Oprah Winfrey

Last week, we returned to to facilitate our InnerView Workshop for the younger cohorts of (6th-9th graders). In the workshops, the scholars reflected on challenges they’ve faced in their lives. They dug into these challenges and pulled out learnings from those experiences. They projected forward how those lessons impact them.

High school mentors were present in each workshop. They aided the younger scholars in their journeys of self-reflection. The high school mentors encouraged the younger scholars to see the hope and growth inside of their daily experiences.

Who gives you hope, and why?

In today’s world, it’s more important than ever for students to understand their unique human value. Automation and artificial intelligence are continuing to accelerate. Jobs we used to think of as irreplaceable are being replaced by machines and computers. Human skills like empathy, empowerment of others, strategic vision, and self-awareness will not only get us jobs in the future, they will help us manage modern global complexities.

This is why we help students write personal statements for college applications. We foster introspection and community building so students may learn more about who they are and what values they have. This is why we call it NOT JUST a College Essay Course.
