REal Life workshops.

  • Practical skills for real life.

    he Standard Institute’s Real Life Workshops give young men ages 13–21 a place to build practical skills they can use now — in relationships, work, money, adulthood, and their future.

    Workshops are offered through two age-based tracks so conversations and activities are relevant to where participants are in life:

    Teen Track | Ages 13–17
    Preparing for real life.

    Young Adult Track | Ages 18–21
    Navigating real life.

    Real Life Workshops are open to young men throughout the community. Seating is limited to 12 participants per session to keep workshops interactive and personal.
