INSPIRE Curriculum
Radiant and MVP curriculum in middle and high school versions have complimentary topics but have variations in topic presentation. Radiant presents the topics through the key words of “Significance Strength and Shine.” MVP uses the key words “Manhood Value and Purpose.” The curriculum encourages mentors to guide discussions, create a safe environment for challenging issues and questions, as well as allow students to build a developmental relationship to encourage their success. Throughout the lessons, topics such as leadership, social media safety, communication, healthy relationships, conflict resolution, emotional well-being, goal setting, professional etiquette and finances are presented through discussion and activities.

Does the curriculum have the same topics for both the male and female versions?
Yes! Both curriculum features the same topics just in a different order. While the curriculum can be used with a co-ed class, we have found that is also important to create spaces for dialogue and mentoring to occur in male/female groups as well.
Can ESSR funds be used by schools to cover the cost of the Inspire mentoring program?
Yes - Inspire curriculum/mentoring qualifies for ESSR funds.
I have had to privilege to work with the Inspire program in two schools now! The message that Inspire presents to our students is so needed in our schools. The mentors encourage our students to value themselves, identify healthy and un-healthy relationships, focus on their emotional well-being, and so much more. These adults are pouring such valuable insight to our students that are amazing life skills. I have had numerous students at both schools seek me out to tell me how much Inspire has helped them and how grateful they are that we brought the program to the school. In the same respect, the teachers tell me how the presentations are well ran and interactive. One teacher told me he started at the back of the class doing his own thing, but quickly joined the conversation because the material was so impactful! I love this! Tara and her mentors truly care about kids’ social and emotional well-being and it is evident! I especially love the presentations/luncheons that are done at the end of the year because they highlight a diverse group of people that have overcome so many obstacles to be successful and are making a difference in their communities!
