Programs – Captains & Poets

CAPTAINS & POETS PROGRAMMING

There is a Captain and a Poet in every one of us.

Captains & Poets is a comprehensive set of resources and ideas to help raise self-awareness around what it means to be a whole person. We aim to empower the Captain and the Poet in everyone and to enable them to identify and embrace each of these archetypes in others.

The curriculum is designed to foster the examination of social norms in the formation of personal identity — and their influence on our acceptance and understanding of others in the world. Our programs are intended to encourage people to be active in the formation and expression of their authentic selves and to build inclusive interpersonal relationships.

PRIMARY PROGRAM

This program is designed to highlight the fact that while we are all unique, we have a lot in common on the inside. The main focus is on reinforcing that we all possess similar qualities that may be experienced or expressed differently.

JUNIOR PROGRAM

This program is designed to raise self-awareness around how we navigate the world around us. The main focus is on being active in the formation of our own identity and, in turn, to foster acceptance of the same personal journey in others.

INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM

This program is designed to increase self-examination and heighten authentic personal expression. The main focus is on integrating empathy, compassion, and resilience in identity formation, enabling these capacities to be directed towards self and peers.

SECONDARY PROGRAM

This program is designed to inquire more deeply into the challenges of navigating the authentic expression of identity in a complex world. The main focus is on integrating empathy, compassion, and resilience into personal identity formation to navigate implicit and explicit social norms.

YOUTH LEADERSHIP

This program is designed to establish a broader lens on leadership, enabling participants to identify their own authentic expression of it and positioning them as capable agents of change and inclusion. The program includes leadership, self-leadership, and peer enablement modules.

CORPORATE LEADERSHIP

This program is designed to ignite the ability to connect, collaborate, and lead across the organization and to take a collective approach to change inclusion efforts. The program extends to include leadership, self-leadership, and colleague enablement modules.
