Struggle University

Healing is how we build. We create safe spaces for Indianapolis youth to identify trauma, repair what's been broken, and heal — together.

We focus on social and emotional development, encourage the creation and strengthening of social capital, and support educational equity through mentoring and restorative practices.

Struggle University is our flagship program — a six-week curriculum that creates spaces to identify past and current trauma, explore individual and collective ways of healing, and build collective efficacy through rapport and connection.

Programs serve late-elementary through adulthood. While there is no exclusion on the racial makeup of participants, we prioritize serving students of color — specifically Black students — in a city where the data demands it.
