The **Jedi Clash** Dual Commitment
Character & Conflict Mastery
We use the compelling metaphors of the "Jedi Code" to teach real-world skills: emotional regulation, active listening, and ethical decision-making. Our nine-module curriculum prepares youth to navigate life's inevitable conflicts ("The Clash") with serenity and wisdom.
- Focus on Self-Awareness and Impulse Control.
- Training in Lightsaber Diplomacy (De-escalation).
- Mentorship and Civic Responsibility.
Technology Gifting Program
Equity means access. Every student who successfully completes the training receives a **MacBook and iPad set**. This dual-device approach ensures they have both the power for complex tasks and the portability for flexible, future-proof learning.
- MacBook: For coding, research, and documentation.
- iPad: For creativity, note-taking, and mobility.
- Closing the digital equity gap for low-income and homeschooled students.
The Apprentices Speak
Hear directly from our students—the future leaders who are mastering conflict and technology through the **Jedi Clash** program.
"Before Jedi Clash, I didn't know how to handle arguments, now I use 'Lightsaber Diplomacy.' The MacBook lets me code projects I never thought possible."
- Alex R. (Apprentice, Cohort 1)
"The iPad is a game-changer for my drawing portfolio. More importantly, the character lessons made me a better sister and friend."
- Mia K. (Apprentice, Cohort 1)
"Receiving both devices was a huge relief for my family. The ethical training is what truly sets this program apart from any other tech giveaway."
- Sam L. (Apprentice, Cohort 1)
