How We Work
Leveraging age-appropriate challenges, children try something hard. We laugh, struggle, try again and cheer each other on.
Classes run in-school, after-school, and in community spaces.
Students leave classes prouder.
Coaches watch kids grow braver.
Teachers notice stronger peer bonds.
Schools build a culture of resilience.

Coaches Feel It First
"There’s a moment when everything shifts — when a child stops hesitating and just goes for it. You can’t teach that. You get to witness it."
— DashStrom Coach
At DashStrom, coaches get a front row seat to witness a child's confidence come to life.
One minute it’s: “I can’t.”
Then: “Maybe I’ll try.”
And suddenly: “I did it!”
Through physically challenging games and just-right challenges, kids stretch past their comfort zone and discover what they’re capable of — all while laughing, moving, and cheering each other on.
​We certify you. We mentor you. We grow together.
Our coaches include future educators, therapists and leaders. And youth advocates who already have experience empowering children.
If you believe challenge builds confidence, you’ll feel right at home here.
We Put the Growth Mindset to Work
"If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is teach them to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning."
— Carol Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
Carol Dweck's research reshaped the world's understanding of success — that abilities are developed through effort. This research forms the backbone of DashStrom's philosophy.
Understanding growth mindset is one thing. DashStrom gives students the opportunity to experience it.
