WHY: Peer to peer connection is a powerful means of happiness, confidence, and driver of behavior. Our EPIC Rally is a vessel for teens to gain deeper ownership of social/emotional skills among a different cohort of students, with purpose!

WHAT: A day of small group, adventure-based learning and conversations meant to break the stigma of all things that make up North Country life. Poverty and resource insecurity, substance use, mental health struggles, & coping with family members struggling with addiction and mental health challenges. Students will be intentionally mixed into small groups for the day and reassemble for lunch. Group facilitators will hold various activities and discussions around some of the most pressing thoughts on the teenage experience.
