Funding opportunities to empower youth with the skills to thrive

Empower the next generation with the most essential skill set.

Most traditional curricular and co-curricular programs don’t provide young people with the skills they need most, like resilience, communication, goal-setting, personal wellness, and more…

They need real opportunities to develop these essential social-emotional and professional competencies to help them achieve their goals, contribute to their communities, and thrive in their relationships, academics, and work.

Charlie Academy’s online suite of career-prep and leadership courses offers the skill-building that youth of all backgrounds need.

Make a real difference in the lives of young people—now and in the future.

Our foundation gave to Charlie Academy because we see the value in providing high-quality personal and professional skills to all young adults. Making these resources available online removes barriers to access while offering significant scalability – critical in today’s growing demand for online learning.

“Recently I made the decision to become more involved at my workplace, so I set up an interview with one of my superiors. Throughout the interview, I put into action the communication skills I learned from the Charlie courses. Without the knowledge of these courses, I’m unsure if I would have been able to take the initiative to assume a more difficult role at work, or communicate my needs and thoughts.”

“If you want to become healthier, more self-aware, and to increase your capacity to handle things… that’s exactly what you’ll get with Charlie Academy courses.”

“Charlie Academy helped me explore different strategies to cope with my emotions to improve my wellbeing. As a student leader, my schedule is so tight I barely have time for myself. Through these courses, however, I discovered different ways to optimize my leisure time so I can de-stress and rejuvenate.”

“Each course has segments that helped me apply the topics to my life. As a student, this "application" portion helped the topics seem more real. As I applied each section to my personal life, I developed greater skills to handle the emotional challenges of daily life. These courses have the potential to assist students on a large scale as they progress through the various stages of life.”

“I think these courses help you develop your personal skills a lot, which you won’t get just in class at college or high school unless you put in the effort to get better at those skills. So, it is a more convenient way to grow in that area. It also is a great thing to be able to show that you actually do have these skills.

Giving the opportunity for youth to build essential personal and professional skills is a simple way to make a profound difference.
