Thrive

Thrive means more than just getting by—it's about building better mental health, resilience, and becoming happier and more confident. The Two@aTime Project is designed to help young people thrive by teaching essential face-to-face communication skills that strengthen emotional well-being and increase self-efficacy, which in turn boosts self-confidence. By learning how to communicate effectively and balance screen time with real face-to-face connection, young people become better equipped to navigate the changes and challenges of life—creating a strong foundation for personal growth.

Connect

Connect—it's more than just meeting people; it's about building relationships that truly matter. The Two@aTime Project empowers young people to form deep connections with peers, teachers, family members, and the community through face-to-face conversations. These personal interactions foster a strong sense of belonging and trust. When youth engage in meaningful conversations, they feel more supported, happier, connected and are better equipped to advocate for themselves in their communities, schools and life.

Succeed

Succeed—The Two@aTime Project equips young people with essential skills that form the foundation for lifelong success. At its core, Two@aTime defines success not just as achievement, but as the ability to connect, collaborate, and communicate with clarity and empathy. When students grow in these areas, they gain confidence in who they are and how they relate to others—skills that support them now and in every stage of life. As the world evolves and AI takes over routine tasks, face-to-face communication skills will become even more essential. In tomorrow's workforce, clear and confident communication won't just be helpful—it will be the key to success.
