🚀 LEVEL UP! FOR YOUTH, BY YOUTH! 🚀 The Level Up Youth & Teen Conference brought young people together for a powerful day of learning, leadership, and connection. Through engaging conversations and youth-led sessions, participants explored mental health and wellness, healthy relationships and boundaries, communication, conflict resolution, bullying prevention, leadership, and positive decision-making. More than a day of conversation, Level Up gave youth practical tools to navigate challenges, strengthen their confidence, and use their voices to create positive change in their schools, families, and communities. A special thank-you to our Youth Advisory Council, whose members led important conversations and shared valuable insights and tools with their peers. Their leadership demonstrated the power of creating opportunities for youth, by youth. We are incredibly proud of the way they showed up and encouraged others. We also extend a special thank-you to our youth guest speaker, Sarai Lokey, for opening the conference and sharing an inspiring message about self-love and mental wellness. Her words helped set the tone for a day of meaningful conversation, connection, and growth. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Beaming Brite Mentoring, Inc. and their team for their partnership, dedication, thoughtful preparation, and support in facilitating the sessions. Together, we created a meaningful experience centered on uplifting and empowering young people. Thank you to every young person, family, partner, volunteer, and community member who helped make Level Up a success. By investing in youth and elevating their voices, we are helping build stronger, healthier communities. 🧡💙 #LevelUpConference #YouthLeadership #youthempowerment #communitypartnership #foryouthbyyouth

🧡 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐔𝐬! During 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, Jared’s Heart of Success reminds youth that their words and actions matter. Through honest conversations and activities, we help young people practice listening, showing empathy, including others, and communicating with respect. We encourage youth to speak up and seek support from a trusted adult when they experience or witness bullying. Together, we can create spaces where every young person feels safe, valued, and heard. #BullyingPreventionMonth #RespectStartsWithUs #JaredsHeartOfSuccess #ViolencePrevention

During World Space Week, October 4–10, 2026, youth at Jared’s Heart of Success explored the science of our skies through our afterschool STEM activity, Cloud Chasers! ☁️🚀 Through a cloud-in-a-jar experiment, students learned how clouds form and the conditions needed for rain. They made predictions, recorded observations, and brought their learning to life by creating their own cloud artwork. Youth also practiced teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. These experiences support our goal of developing young leaders and preventing violence while opening doors to new interests, future careers, and opportunities. #WorldSpaceWeek #STEMLearning #AfterschoolMatters #JaredsHeartOfSuccess #ost

Every day, we’re working behind the scenes at Jared’s Heart of Success, pouring into our youth and teens and creating space for honest conversations. We’re giving them practical tools to express themselves, work through disagreements, and handle conflict before it escalates into an altercation or gun violence. Special thanks to Mr. Ansen for facilitating today’s session on active listening, tone of voice, and body language. How we listen, speak, and respond can make a difference in whether a conversation builds understanding or increases tension. Helping young people pause, listen to understand, and express themselves respectfully is a critical part of our violence prevention work. These are skills they can carry into their classrooms, homes, and communities. 🧡 #youthandteens #violenceprevention #startearly

💚 October 10 is World Mental Health Day. At Jared’s Heart of Success, we believe every young person deserves to feel seen, valued, and heard. To anyone struggling, grieving, feeling alone, or taking steps toward healing—we’re sending love and support. If you or your child needs support, reach out to us. We can help connect you with counseling services and community resources. You matter. Your feelings matter. You deserve care and support. 💚 #WorldMentalHealthDay #JaredsHeartOfSuccess #mentalhealthishealth #mentalwellness
