The Torch Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that offers leadership trainings to at-risk teens from low-income, underserved neighborhoods throughout California. The Foundation's mission is ambitious: it seeks to change the world by instilling in each child confidence, passion and desire to actively help create the life of their dreams and to produce amazing changes in their own communities. 

The Torch Training is a two-day experiential leadership training designed to profoundly alter the lives of young adults. Its unique format allows the students to experience an environment of trust that fosters openness, honesty, and self-expression.
The student will Discover:
• The honor of Keeping your Word
• Negative habits that hold you back from creating a life that you truly desire
• The freedom of Choice
• The joys of Conscious Living
• The value in accepting Responsibility
• Happiness as a state of Being vs. Doing
The students will Learn:
• How to create positive Relationships
• Effective Communication
• Productive Problem Solving Techniques
• Leadership skills
• How to be productive vs. reactive
• The power of living life based on Principles and Values
Through one on one, team, small group and "dyad" (a two person exercise), teens and youth experience themselves through the eyes of their peers and coaches.  They are supported to look deep into themselves to find the answers for their future - to take responsibility for their lives.
The training provides a stimulating and nurturing, committed environment for shared exploration - together, we explore what is possible, what is "so" and what can be.
