Hello Everyone!
My name is Jasmine Peterson and I’m so excited to walk alongside you this summer! I’m a graduate student studying the science behind Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a proud middle school teacher where I teach Professional Communication to incredible students like you.
I created this space because I’ve seen firsthand how powerful young people are—especially when given the right tools, space, and love to grow. These workshops aren’t just events—they’re an opportunity to help you learn how to navigate life with more confidence, better communication skills, and stronger emotional tools.
We’ll talk real scenarios, play real games, and grow real connections. I’m here to empower you to speak up, stand strong, and stay grounded—all while having fun, building community, and discovering your voice.
Whether you’re shy, outspoken, or somewhere in between—you belong here.
Let’s grow through what we go through… together.
Your gift, whether funds, supplies, or services—directly equips Dallas teens with workshops, mentors, meals, and the tools they need to thrive in high school and beyond.
When we invest in our youth and honor our elders, we’re creating a cycle of love, support, and empowerment that changes lives—and communities—for generations to come.
Call to Action:
Let’s bridge the gap between potential and purpose.
Because when one of us rises, we all rise.
