Equip your teen with the life skills needed to thrive in adulthood!
Ambition is a mobile life readiness platform to help teens succeed.
Research shows that teen years are important for developing executive function, social-emotional, and life skills.
Teen years are when kids are suspended between the dependence of childhood and the independence of adulthood.
Teens are supposed to learn skills that serve them as adults, like decision making, time and task management, communication, critical thinking, financial literacy, self-regulation, online and offline safety, and more.
These are crucial skills needed for a successful adulthood. Research shows that executive function, a set of cognitive skills that include working memory, attention, and self-control, is a higher predictor of success than test scores, IQ, and socioeconomic status.
But most teens aren't being taught the skills needed to live happy, healthy, and successful lives.
Many schools focus on academic topics and often ignore executive function and other crucial life skills. Despite this, students are still expected to bring these skills to school and use them to succeed.
If not in school, where are teens supposed to learn the skills needed to thrive in college, their careers, and adulthood? While some youth programs teach these skills, only 11% of high schoolers are enrolled in an afterschool program. This leaves many teens without access to developing the tools they need to succeed.
If a teen doesn't learn these skills, their parents often fill the voids, increasing the risk of that teen becoming a young adult who relies on their parents longer into adulthood. Research shows that those with low executive function are more likely to experience unemployment, incarceration, and even higher mortality rates later in life.
So we created Ambition to help prepare teens for life.
Based in research, Ambition's bite-sized mobile courses are designed to help teens develop the skills needed to thrive in college, their careers, and adulthood.
