Your six-week field guide to braver, more connected kids

A real curriculum, disguised as the most fun hour of the week.

Six weeks. Six waypoints. Seven qualities that last a lifetime. Developed through doctoral research at USC by a licensed psychotherapist who's performed improv for 20 years.

Hand-drawn trail map: six numbered waypoints of kids playing improv games along a path that crosses a bridge

The route every group travels — week by week, game by game.

The six weeks, mapped

Schools don't buy vibes — they buy scope and sequence. Here's ours.

1Warming UpNames, games, ground rules. Safety first, always.→ Courage
2Yes, And…The golden rule of improv: accept, then build.→ Curiosity
3Big ChoicesBold moves in a room that cheers for you.→ Confidence
4Staying SteadyWhen a scene wobbles, we breathe and keep going.→ Composure
5Team ScenesMaking your partner look good is the whole game.→ Compassion + Communication
6The EnsembleA closing showcase for the only audience that matters: each other.→ Community

Every bridge begins with a single step. Every young person deserves the chance to take it.
