Leadership Workshops
We empower youth in high schools where professionals deliver workshops in soft skills for kids aged 12 to 18 so they become change makers in their community. Life Academy makes mental health a subject in the school, taking the same importance as math or science, reducing 91% of socio emotional crisis in the students who has been involved in the workshops.
Conferences
Life Academy host conferences about soft skills and social impact where attendees are called to Live a healthier, wealthier, more fulfilling, passionate and purposeful life – whether that means achieving in business, reigniting your relationship or discovering who you really are and how you will impact other`s people lifes.

Testimonies
"Life Academy has been very positive. Starting with the little people who lead these meetings are of extraordinary human quality, I can see the positive impact with which the girls and their parents have welcomed the program"
LuceroHigh school Principal
“The program strengthened the mental health of young people who were currently in crisis in our school. The students were captivated by the workshops and more connected to each other. At the end of the year, when we took impact measure, we obtained that not only did they not visit the psychologist office in crisis again but that there was significant academic progress in them. The families of the students also got engaged and at the same time enjoyed this process was taking place in the educational institution”
SusanaPsychosocial team leader at ITEC High School
“Because of Life Academy I could discover that I am a leader who can inspire other students and my family. In the workshops they taught us about dreams and how to make it goals in my life project. The teachers are very funny and I really like the games. This year we are doing projects to help society and they look great. My parents are super happy that I am taking the workshops and me as well”
