For youth organizations · Live on Zoom
A live workshopyour group will remember.
Finding Your Purpose, built for organization-hosted Zoom groups of middle-school students or teens. Samuel shares his story, leads short activities, answers moderated questions, and helps every participant leave with a personal next-step plan.
What the workshop includes
- 01
Age-tailored story and activities
Samuel’s story — growing up with alopecia, being bullied, and hearing “no” on Season 5 of NBC’s The Voice — told for middle-school or teen listeners, with short activities that keep the group involved.
- 02
Confidence and belonging
Separating who you are from how you look, what others say, or one result — and making room for people who feel left out.
- 03
Bullying and rejection
Practical, age-appropriate responses: moving toward safety, telling a trusted adult, and not joining in when someone else is targeted.
- 04
Practical goal-setting
Workbook-based reflection that ends with each young person writing one personal next step: a goal, a first move, a helper and a date.
- 05
Moderated questions
Questions come through your host or the Zoom chat and are moderated, so the conversation stays safe and on track.

FAQ
Questions from youth leaders
Looking for something else? See the in-person school assembly, or point parents to confidence coaching.
Who are the workshops for?
Youth-serving organizations — youth programs, clubs, camps, libraries, nonprofits and community groups — hosting middle-school or teen participants. Each workshop is a one-time session your organization hosts.
Are these the same as the school assembly?
No. School assemblies are booked separately as in-person programs. Zoom workshops are a smaller, interactive format for organization-hosted groups.
How long is a workshop and how many students can join?
Length, group size and scheduling depend on your group and are confirmed with you before booking. Tell us what you have in mind on the inquiry form.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the format you need and is shared after we learn about your group. There is no obligation in sending an inquiry.
Is the workshop faith-based?
No. Workshops for community and youth organizations contain no religious instruction. Faith-based groups can ask about a faith-based version.
Is this counseling?
No. Workshops are educational: storytelling, reflection and goal-setting. They are not therapy or crisis support.
