Life Preparation for Young Men Ages 17–21
Adulthood doesn't come with an instruction manual.
Whether entering college, learning a trade, beginning a career, or exploring entrepreneurship, many young men face important decisions with limited guidance and support.
LAUNCH is The Standard Institute's 10-week Life Preparation Experience for young men ages 17–21. Through weekly sessions, individualized coaching, practical life skills, and real-world experiences, participants gain the confidence, accountability, and tools needed to take the next step toward adulthood.
