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!

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.

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.
