Grades 6–12 | Pilot Phase — Supporting students as they develop confidence, self-awareness, accountability, and healthy decision-making skills.
The Youth Wellness & Life Skills Program is an education-first initiative of Doing Exceptional Deeds (D.A.D.), designed to support students in grades 6–12 as they develop confidence, self-awareness, accountability, and healthy decision-making skills.
The Youth Wellness & Life Skills Program includes a continuity-based Student Success Advisory model designed to support students from middle school through high school. Rather than rotating support year to year, this model emphasizes consistent adult guidance, relationship-building, accountability, and reflection that follow students across grade levels and key transitions.
The advisory may be delivered during the school day through advisory periods, study hall, intervention blocks, or other designated times aligned with the school schedule. This approach allows students to receive support without extending the school day, reducing fatigue and access barriers.
When aligned with site priorities or funding requirements, the program may also be delivered after school as part of expanded learning or enrichment programming.
