Your Story Course
You Have a Story to Share
We believe inside of everyone is a great story, waiting to be told. Whether or not you've had a dramatic series of life events or not, the experiences you've had and the lessons you've learned have tremendous value- both for you to reflect on as well as to share. Your story matters.
There are young people today who are one role model away from finding hope, purpose, and a vision for their lives. Their limited scope or exposure to different paths in life is a limiting factor to their potential. In other words, they need to meet people like you and be inspired by the path you've taken and the ways you've responded to your life.
That's what this project is about. Inviting you to reflect on your life story and retell parts of it through video so students can learn from your life. This is no small thing- you will make an impact. That being said, our request is straightforward:
Go through the course- reflect on your life story and share it through a short video.

There's no formula to building a life that's meaningful.
But, there are a series of questions you can answer that will help you be prepared.
What do I do?
Step One: Go through the exercises on the digital course - reflect on your life story through writing and talking out loud with a friend or family member (1-3 hours, depending on how deep you go)
Step Two: Video record your story following our common sense guidelines and share with the YouSchool team.
Step Three: Receive regular updates from the YouSchool about students who watch your story and stories from others.
