Teamwork is our specialty!

Our facilitators are never alone. Aside from your guide and resources, you’ll also have support from our Wholespire team – a community ready to help you and your teams succeed. HYPE advisors can always count on the following:

HYPE ADVISOR GUIDES
Each advisor receives an Advisor Guide, which is more comprehensive than the Youth Guide. It provides more explanation, icon and text prompts and an appendix featuring additional resources.
HYPE YOUTH GUIDES
Each HYPE team member receives a Youth Guide featuring worksheets and notes sections. Youth can take their guide home after the completion of The HYPE Project
HYPE SUPPLY KIT
The majority of the supplies needed to effectively conduct HYPE activities are included in the supply kit. The supply kit can be reused for multiple teams.
POWERPOINT SLIDES
Providing youth with a visual experience is key to conducting engaging sessions. The HYPE PowerPoint features embedded videos, key points and customizable data slides.
ACCESS TO COMMUNITY ASSESSMENTS
Advisors will have access to community assessments that can be used by HYPE teams to assess specific topics related to their civic action project. Some examples are the basketball court assessment, park assessment and walking assessment.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
After the advisor training, Wholespire staff are available to answer questions, assist in addressing barriers and provide suggestions as advisors lead their youth through The HYPE Project.
TWO-YEAR AUTHORIZATION
Advisors will receive a two-year authorization from Wholespire. This allows host sites and advisors to collaborate on opportunities to implement HYPE with multiple groups of youth during the two-year period.
