Values
Our Guiding Principles
At The Resilience Strategy Alliance, Inc., we are committed to intentional programming that addresses the unique needs of young men and women in the justice system separately. Our values revolve around building confidence, social skills, and emotional regulation for young women, while redefining masculinity, promoting accountability, and conflict resolution for young men. We believe in mentorship, skill development, and emotional resilience as key pillars in creating a sustainable and supportive environment for the youth.
We integrate peer mentors into our programs to enrich the experience of justice-involved youth, fostering leadership and a sense of belonging. This creates a cycle of giving back and mutual support, enhancing the impact and success of our initiatives. Additionally, our dual coaching model combines evidence-based group and individual life coaching with golf lessons, providing a comprehensive approach to personal growth and development.
