Our methods
At Project Protege, we believe in personalized growth and development. Our comprehensive assessment process ensures each participant receives tailored support, helping them achieve their full potential.
​
Participants are paired with a designated youth coach, receiving ongoing guidance, support, and mentorship throughout their journey. This personalized coaching enhances self-awareness and drives progress towards individual goals.
​
Our assessment process, combined with weekly coaching sessions, provides the mentorship needed for participants to thrive. Committed to empowering young individuals, Project Protege is dedicated to their personal development and long-term success.
Coaching vs. therapy
Our approach at Project Protege differs from traditional therapy. We focus on proactive mentorship and skill-building, rather than solely addressing past traumas or mental health concerns.
​
We understand that young adults, often facing limited resources and unique challenges, benefit greatly from guidance tailored to their immediate needs and long-term aspirations. Through personalized coaching, we equip them with practical tools, strategies, and mentorship to navigate life's complexities, build resilience, and achieve success.
​​
This forward-thinking approach fosters independence, self-efficacy, and a sense of purpose among our youth participants, setting them on a path toward a successful future.
ally matching
Our "Ally" matching techniques pair members to support each other in ongoing endeavors, fostering collaboration and camaraderie. This ensures every individual has a reliable, age-relatable resource for support, further reinforced by fellow program member matching. The Ally matching approach creates a community of support that is integral to personal growth and team success.
ennegram
The Enneagram test is a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal development. By understanding your motivations, patterns, and emotional intelligence, the Enneagram helps enhance adaptability and decision-making. It provides insights into your unique leadership style, fostering personal growth.
​
The Enneagram is a personality system that categorizes individuals into nine distinct types, each representing a different worldview, core fears, desires, and coping mechanisms. Here’s how it benefits participants:
​
