Exploring skills and pathways to the future.
Hope Links is a set of collaborative activity cards designed specifically
for use with youth in middle/high school. Each set of Hope Links cards is divided into three overarching domains:
1) we BELIEVE all youth can succeed by cultivating positive expectations,2) we CONNECT with youth in caring relationships, and 3) we teach youth to TIME TRAVEL by envisioning the future, and deriving pathways to
desired goals.
*Each card/activity is tied to a specific skill or capacity drawn from current literature such as Agency, Growth Mindset, Respect for Others, Goals Thinking and more.
*Each activity is easily facilitated by an adult and can be used in any order.
*Activities are designed with a suggested number of links and an approximate time frame.
*Activities are designed to connect youth to their future in meaningful ways.
