A Step Up Program

READY

Resilience, Empathy, and Authenticity for Developing Young Adults

Peer-to-peer coaching program for ages 15–25

Created in collaboration between practitioners, high-achieving students, and student-athletes — READY is a space where young adults coach each other through the challenges that matter most, building courage, perseverance, and purpose along the way.

What is READY?

A Performance-Based, Peer-Led Community

READY is a performance-based, peer-led organization where teenagers and young adults (ages 15–25) can speak openly and honestly, share thoughts and feelings, and inspire each other to move forward together.

Through facilitator-led, guided conversations and peer support, members address limiting beliefs, negative self-talk, fears, and triggers. Members learn to take off their "masks," be authentic and empathetic, and together resolve issues related to school, sports, relationships, stress, college, and careers.

The results: greater clarity, confidence, resilience, and accountability to take specific action toward your goals.

How It Works

The READY Process

🗓️

Weekly 75-Minute Sessions

Facilitator-led virtual sessions every week. Consistent, structured, and designed to build on each other.

👥

Small-Group Depth

Sessions start with 10–15 members then break into small groups of 3–5 for deeper, more personal discussion.

📱

Between-Session Support

Ongoing accountability via GroupMe, text, or calls between sessions keeps your progress on track.

🎓

Peer-to-Peer Learning

You learn from peers facing the same challenges — not just from adults who 'know better.' Authenticity is the foundation.
