Educational Programs
"Reimagining Reality" is a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-informed, prosocial skill-building program delivered through immersive and experiential learning. Our program provides youth, incarcerated individuals, and returning citizens with an innovative learning experience that uses virtual reality content creation and embodied learning to translate cognitive-behavioral principles and social-emotional skills into practice. Through VR filming, participant-driven scenario creation, and facilitated role-play experiences in a safe, structured environment, participants rehearse life's challenges while learning to respond to situations with responsibility, intention and empathy.
Access to technology shouldn't be a barrier to transformation.
Our fully-equipped VR trailer brings the program to you, complete with VR headsets, TV screens, and all the technology needed for an immersive experience. We travel to schools, prisons, community centers — anywhere our participants are, ensuring access is never a barrier.

⬥Youth Program
We meet young people where they are: in a world shaped by technology and digital experiences. Using immersive VR and CBT-informed techniques, this program helps young people build emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills. Participants rehearse real-world challenges, such as peer pressure, bullying situations, family conflict, high-stress moments, to learn how to make responsible decisions and engage in perspective-taking. We strive to help participants develop resilience and leadership capacity. Check out our Youth Program Sizzle Reel below!
-
Our youth program is delivered in multi-session cohorts, typically running over several days or weeks. Each session combines virtual reality experiences, guided discussion, and activities where participants develop and perform their own scenarios from start to finish, including creating the situation, assigning roles, filming the scene, and reviewing it together.
-
The curriculum focuses on social-emotional learning, communication, conflict resolution, empathy, leadership, and decision-making. Students engage with immersive scenarios and develop their own role-based situations to explore how choices and interactions affect outcomes.
-
We partner with schools, youth organizations, and community-based programs. Past collaborations have included public and charter schools, youth leadership programs, and nonprofit organizations serving young people.
⬥ Prison Program
Unlike traditional programs that wait until release, we believe comprehensive reentry preparation begins inside. Through VR simulations, participants rehearse the moments that matter most: saying no to substances, handling gang-related pressure, responding to conflict without violence, and resisting peer influence. They build agency over how they'll navigate freedom in an ever-changing landscape, learning to plan for different futures while preparing to adapt when necessary.
-
Our prison program is delivered through structured group sessions inside correctional facilities. Participants not only get the opportunity to watch a documentary and engage in deep reflective discussions, but also collaboratively design real-life scenarios for an immersive VR learning experience.
-
The curriculum focuses on personal accountability, emotional awareness, communication, conflict management, and preparation for life after incarceration. Participants examine difficult real-world situations through participant-created scenarios.
-
We partner with correctional institutions, educational programs within prisons, and organizations focused on rehabilitation and restorative programming.
⬥ Re-Entry Program & Made New Academy
Our reentry program uses the same VR-based, CBT-informed model as our other programs, enhanced with practical skill-building for successful reintegration. Participants practice job interviews, develop time management strategies, navigate professional environments, and build financial skills. Over the course of the program, we help our participants strengthen self-leadership, rebuild family connections, and establish stability and purpose in their communities.
Made New Academy, a subset of our re-entry program, is a fully online educational course that we provide to help prepare re-entering citizens for life outside. It is an advanced virtual course cultivating “reconnected leadership” – the ability to guide others through authenticity, self-awareness, and service. Graduates emerge as role models for transformation within their families and communities.
-
Our re-entry program is offered through workshops and cohort-based sessions that combine immersive VR scenarios with group discussion and participant-created scenario work. Participants design situations they may face after release, assign roles, film the interaction, and review the scene together to analyze responses and alternatives.
-
The curriculum focuses on practical re-entry skills (e.g., time management, interviewing), decision-making, communication, problem-solving, and adapting to modern systems and environments after incarceration.
-
We partner with re-entry organizations, community service providers, workforce development programs, and nonprofits supporting formerly incarcerated individuals as they transition back into their communities.
