Youth Frameworks for Success Β· Baltimore-rooted

Transforming individuals by
renewing the mind.

We equip you to build young leaders β€” you deliver it in your community.

MetroVoice licenses the Youth Frameworks for Success curriculum, trains and certifies facilitators, and supports implementation β€” so schools, nonprofits, and community leaders can run it themselves, wherever they are.

What changed

We stopped scaling programs.
We started scaling people.

For years the only way to get Youth Frameworks for Success to a young person was for MetroVoice to run the cohort ourselves. That worked β€” and it capped us at the number of rooms we could personally stand in.

So we inverted it. The framework, the curriculum, the training, and the support are now yours to carry. You already have the young people, the trust, and the room. We give you the system to use in it.

The model
You bring
The young people, the venue, and the relationships you have already built.
We bring
The curriculum, the facilitator certification, and the implementation support.
Together
Every participant leaves with a written Winning Life Game Plan they keep.

Two ways in

Who is this for?

Whether you are an institution with existing programming or one person ready to start something in your neighborhood β€” the framework is the same. The pathway differs.

What you receive

Everything needed to deliver it well.

Not a binder and good luck. A license, trained and certified people, and someone alongside you while you run it.

Curriculum license

The full Youth Frameworks for Success curriculum β€” session plans, facilitator guides, student workbooks, and the Winning Life Game Plan toolkit β€” licensed for you to deliver.

  • Six-unit curriculum arc
  • Facilitator guides for every session
  • Student workbooks and reflection journals
  • Winning Life Game Plan templates
  • Family engagement materials

Facilitator training & certification

We train your people to deliver the framework with fidelity β€” then certify them. Certification is what makes this repeatable rather than dependent on any one person.

  • Facilitator training program
  • Certification on completion
  • Delivery standards and fidelity guidance
  • Refresher and advanced pathways
  • Access to the facilitator community

Implementation support

Onboarding, planning, and ongoing coaching so the program actually lands β€” plus the reporting structure your board, district, or funder will ask for.

  • Onboarding and launch planning
  • Ongoing facilitator coaching
  • Cohort planning and scheduling support
  • Progress reporting structure
  • Troubleshooting and adaptation guidance

Delivery formats

Fits the programming you already run.

Most partners do not need a new program. They need a stronger spine inside the one they have. Youth Frameworks for Success adapts to the format, the calendar, and the age band you are already working with.

See the formats in detail

Afterschool program

Weekly Β· school year

A sustained weekly cohort that runs alongside the school year, building toward each participant’s Winning Life Game Plan.

Summer program

Intensive Β· multi-week

A concentrated summer format β€” ideal for districts and community organizations with existing summer programming to build on.

Literacy enrichment

Auxiliary Β· flexible

An auxiliary track that pairs reading and comprehension work with identity, goal-setting, and personal planning.

The framework

Eight domains, one young person.

Youth Frameworks for Success is built on the areas a young life actually runs on β€” not one skill in isolation. Every unit drives toward the same deliverable: a written Winning Life Game Plan.

Identity & Purpose
Who am I, what do I value, and where am I going?

Integrity, responsibility, and the courage to act

The deliverable

A business plan for your life.

A company would never operate without knowing its purpose, its resources, its risks, and its next moves. The Winning Life Game Planapplies that same discipline to a young person’s life β€” written down, owned by them, and revised as they grow.

It is the tangible artifact every cohort produces. Participants keep it. Your board, district, or funder can see it.
