Learn from Community/Industry Leaders from the El Paso Area
As part of our Strive Now mentorship program, we are proud to have local El Paso leaders who generously share their insight, inspiration, and practical advice with our students. These keynote speakers offer real-world perspectives, guidance, and encouragement, helping our teens connect their purpose to meaningful action in their communities and future careers.
Workshops & Exciting Venues
Strive Now hosts six dynamic sessions each season for students in grades 8–12, designed to build character, career readiness, and community leadership through intentional mentorship and real-world experiences. Local El Paso leaders share insight, inspiration, and practical advice, with workshops held at exciting venues across the city like La Nube and Starlight Event Center. PLUS lunch is provided at each event.
Community Service is a BIG deal to us!!
Community Service Projects — Each season, students participate in at least two large-scale service opportunities that allow them to actively contribute to their city. These projects are designed to build teamwork, leadership, and a heart for service, giving students hands-on experience in making a meaningful impact in their community.
Why Strive Now?
Because teens deserve more than just a career path.
They deserve purpose, every day.
Because soft skills and strong character outlast test scores.
We build leaders, not just résumés.
Because mentorship changes everything.
One caring adult can shape a lifetime.
Because confidence and community go hand in hand.
We don’t just teach leadership—we grow it for the long haul.
