Will this help my teen? Yes, it will!
Teens leave confident & parents report immediate mindset shifts
Choose the Right Path for Your Teen
The BOLO Project offers two ways for teens to build confidence, clarity, and resilience. One is a one-day workshop designed for a powerful introduction and immediate impact. The other is a 6-week summer experience for teens ready to go deeper and create lasting change. Both options meet teens where they are and help them move forward with confidence.
Real Stories, Real Students, Real Impact
"Whatever you are doing should be taught to all therapists and mental health organizations. We have been struggling with our child's mental health for the past 2 years or so, and we haven’t seen her as happy as she is now since 2021, despite working with multiple therapists. She is so excited to be a part of your program.
The service project component is huge and has always been an area where we have seen her come alive as she loves to help others. I’m sure it’s equally exciting for the other youth in the group.
Thank you for your good work!" - Alicia

Why Choose The BOLO Project for Your Teen?

Because today’s teens don’t need another lecture ...they need confidence, clarity, and tools that actually stick.
​
The BOLO Project is a holistic program specially designed to equip teens with the essential skills they need to thrive, both in life and in their academic journey. From building leadership qualities to mastering financial literacy and preparing for college and beyond, we set the foundation for a bright and successful future.
We believe dogs change the way we feel and how we see the world. Science has shown that dogs can play a huge role in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. The BOLO project takes a dog-centric approach to helping teens “fetch anything they desire in life”.
