🎯 Ideal for homeschooling learners ages 12+ considering the Vanguard Homeschool Enrichment Program.
đź’˛ This sample workshop is complimentary for families interested in the Vanguard Homeschool Enrichment Program for teens.
Join us for a hands-on, half-day experience designed to give students (and their families) a meaningful taste of Future Fridays at Vanguard Learning—a program built around creativity, communication, purpose, and real-world readiness.
🧠Creative Introductions – “This Is Me”
Students kick off the day by exploring identity and self-expression in a low-pressure, interactive way—designed to build comfort and voice.
💡 Mini Challenge – “From Problem to Pitch”
In small teams, students take on a fun creative challenge: identify a real-world problem and brainstorm a solution—then prep a mini pitch to share over lunch.
🧤 Community Impact Hour – “Dig In and Do Good”
Students roll up their sleeves for a hands-on service project, connecting learning to real-world contribution. (All materials provided.)
💬 Real Talk – “Work, Money, and Meaning”
A guided reflection invites students to consider what matters most—and how they want to contribute to their communities and the world.
🥗 Lunch + Social Hour
Families and students will enjoy a casual lunch together, with space to connect, ask questions, and learn more about Vanguard Learning’s mission, team, and approach. Lunch will be provided.
Preview Future Fridays in action
