Raising Moxie

Continuing education to strengthen the next generation

Raising Moxie®️ equips adults—educators, parents, and community leaders—with the skills, language, and frameworks to meet children’s developmental needs with precision, warmth, and oversight. Through community education and professional development, we build adult fluency to foster growth-promoting environments where every child can thrive.​​

  • Strengthen Adult Communication. Warmth without demand is enablement; demand without warmth is harm

  • Reclaim High Expectations. High expectations support success and eventual self-efficacy

  • Protect Foundational Needs. Children’s foundational needs reflect their civil rights

  • Disrupt Systemic Harm The kids aren’t broken; it is the system that needs repair

  • Model Vulnerable Leadership. Authenticity and Emotional resonance is power

Our Belief

We believe that adult skill-building is the gateway to systemic repair. When adults are equipped to lead relationally and rigorously, children flourish. Our evidence-based programming is designed to restore dignity, elevate expectations, and protect every child’s right to thrive.

We protect kids’ foundational needs, disrupt systemic harm, and

model authentic leadership.
