What is this? It's a 3.5 hour experience for socially-equipped, well-mannered young adults ages 11 to 15. Participants dive into real-life lessons about communication, decision-making and more. Think of Real World Ready as a crash course in common sense. Lessons not often taught in church, synagogue, scouts or schools. Universal lessons, not controversial ones.
Why now? A Burbank parent named Charlotte said, "Trying to cram in these lessons when juniors and seniors are cramming for exams is too little, too late. It just won't get done."
Is it going to be boring? No.
This sounds stupid and boring. Still no.
Will parents be there? No.
Will I be on video? No.
What about audio? Yes, for safety purposes only.
Who do I contact about this program? Learn about Kevin, here.
Can I make new friends from different areas of town? Yes.
Can I bring my smart device? Yes, set on silent, to the side.
Can I easily get a hold of my kid during a workshop? Yes, just send us a text.
Does the leader have an active Live Scan? Yes, everyone’s physical and emotional safety is top of mind.
Who are the adults in the room? Paid guests lead segments during each workshop. All are energetic, cheerful, kid-friendly communicators, who are picked for their ability to engage (while delivering specific aspects of Real World Ready content).
Can I get a refund? Yes, just ask. Full refunds are provided for cancellations made greater than 72 hours of your scheduled workshop.
How many participants are in a workshop? 15 max.
When are check-in and check-out? Please drop off and pick up during the first fifteen minutes and the last fifteen minutes of each published event.
Where are these workshops held? Each is held at a corporation's creative studio space. Some listed accommodations may change due to participation levels.
Will you ever cancel a workshop? Hopefully no, but if it does happen, electronic alerts will be sent no fewer than four days prior to your workshop day, and full refunds will be provided automatically, without unnecessary delay.
Will lunch or dinner be provided? Yes, a casual "crowd-favorite" meal will be provided. e.g. Chipotle, The Habit, Raising Cane's, Mendocino Farms, Pitfire Pizza, etc. We will do our best to accommodate for every child's allergies.
And plenty of snacks and beverages? Those, too.
