World Changers Program
The College Is Not Mandatory
Today’s young adults have endless career opportunities and yet have very limited knowledge as to what is available to them. They also struggle to find careers that are meaningful for them, often spending time and money unnecessarily because they do not understand how to find a career path that matters to them.
The College Is Not Mandatory World Changers Career Program™ is a comprehensive and multi-faceted career identification curriculum for high school students. It makes high school relevant by providing students with the opportunity to explore and gain an understanding of their passions and interests in relation to their future career. It has been designed to equip students with the skills to pursue a career that they are passionate about. With this program, students are able to make better informed decisions about their future and develop the confidence and self-belief to pursue their goals.
World Changers is an innovative education coaching program that encourages students to explore their potential and to make an impact in the world. This program includes an educator guide, lesson plans, and slide decks to introduce the three units which can be used together or independently. It is designed to be teacher-led or used for independent study, so educators can tailor it to fit their needs. With this program, students will be empowered to think critically and take action to make a positive change in their community.

Meet Stephanie Haynes, PCC, CCSP
Today's teens are stuck in an outdated definition of success. It is no longer beneficial to continue the one-size-fits-all college-for-everyone mantra. Today's teens need to be equipped to break the mold and build career-centered pathways they are excited to pursue, making high school relevant to their futures.
As a former teacher, a parent, and now a professional coach and consultant I understand the pressures you face in the field of education. It's why I started coaching educational leaders like you. I want to empower you to break the mold and equip you to reimagine the definition of success at your school.
