SUMMARY:Pueblo Spring Mandatory Session
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to forget to simply have fun with your kids. Rules\, responsibilities\, schoolwork\, and the daily grind can crowd out moments of joy. That’s where intentionality comes in—sometimes you have to plan for laughter. \n\n\nParents often ask how to prevent problem behaviors or help their children make wise choices. One of the most effective proactive steps is building a family identity rooted in connection: “We know how to have fun together.” Shared joy strengthens relationships\, protects a child’s heart\, and creates a foundation for healthy choices. \n\n\nJoin us as we host a yearly event designed to support families in both connection and education. The event provides resources and information to help families confidently navigate and support their educational choices. Vendors representing all school choice options\, along with organizations offering support services such as sports\, tutoring\, camps\, and enrichment programs\, come together to serve families in a meaningful and accessible way. \nLocation TBD

SUMMARY:Positive Athlete: Recognition and Dual Threat Playbook
DESCRIPTION:Learn about a FREE and easy opportunity to recognize\, empower and connect high character high school student-athletes (including club and individual sports) who embody the traits that make communities stronger. Free lifelong resources (character\, leadership\, career) are provided to all nominees not just those award and scholarship winners. \n\n\nYouth sports is booming—a $40 billion plus industry that is only growing. But alongside that growth has come a “more is more” culture: rising costs\, early specialization\, and constant pressure to do more\, train more\, and spend more. For the 95% of student-athletes who won’t compete beyond high school\, that can create burnout and the harmful belief that if sports end\, success does too. But what if in real time we reframed the athlete journey as dual purpose for our young student athletes? Not just a path to athletic achievement\, but a foundation for life—developing resilience\, discipline\, leadership\, teamwork\, and other transferable skills that fuel long-term success. This mindset shift could create a healthier\, more sustainable future for student athletes. Let us help you spark this mindset shift for your student athletes!

SUMMARY:Designing a System of Belonging at Home: Using the Sims Framework to Strengthen Relationships\, Advocacy\, and Outcomes for Boys
DESCRIPTION:Parents are often given advice about managing behavior\, improving communication\, or increasing motivation. This session takes a different approach. Using the Sims Framework\, participants will explore how beliefs\, structures\, and daily practices shape a young person’s sense of belonging\, predictability\, identity\, and success. \n\n\nThrough reflection and practical application\, parents will learn how family systems influence outcomes and how intentional alignment between what we believe\, how we organize family life\, and what we do every day can strengthen relationships and support healthy development. Participants will also explore how to become stronger advocates for their sons within schools\, youth-serving organizations\, and other systems that shape opportunity. \n\n\nThis session is particularly relevant for parents\, caregivers\, mentors\, and family members who want to better understand and support boys and young men in today’s increasingly complex social and educational environments.
