AHA! is dedicated to the development of character, imagination, emotional intelligence, and social conscience in teenagers. Through an innovative curriculum focusing on self-expression, team-building, empathy training, emotional intelligence, and diversity appreciation, AHA! helps teens learn to set goals, stop bullying and hatred, support their peers, and serve their community.
The curriculum is delivered through a multicultural lens that honors and celebrates our commonalities and differences. Facilitators participate with the teens in lessons and exercises that enhance both group trust and cross-generational alliances.
