About the I Will Be Program

The I Will Be Program is a 16-week youth development curriculum developed by SeedlingYD for young people ages 12–18.

The program helps participants strengthen identity, self-awareness, character, leadership, resilience, and practical life skills through structured reflection and guided discussion.

Rather than focusing only on outcomes, the curriculum helps young people understand who they are becoming.

How Does Licensing Work?

Does SeedlingYD Support Facilitators?

What Makes the Program Different?

Many youth programs focus primarily on outcomes.

The I Will Be Program focuses on the foundation beneath those outcomes.

Participants examine:

  • Who they are

  • What they value

  • What responsibilities they carry

  • How choices shape outcomes

  • What legacy they want to build

Identity becomes the organizing framework for growth.
