ATM Youth Program
AMAZINGLY TRANSFORMED & MOTIVATED
ATM Program
Overview & Structure
The Amazingly Transformed & Motivated (ATM) Youth Program is a dynamic and impactful initiative crafted to instill a deep sense of value and self-worth in youth and young adults. Recognizing that true self-worth is an internal asset, this program empowers participants to understand and embrace their personal values, independent of external judgments or societal expectations.
​
The ATM program is built around a three-step process—Withdrawing, Depositing, Checks, and Balance—each representing a crucial phase in the journey of personal growth and self-discovery.
Withdrawing
Objective
This initial phase focuses on identifying and releasing negative influences, self-limiting beliefs, and unproductive habits.
​
Activities
Participants engage in introspective exercises, guided discussions, and reflective practices to uncover and withdraw from the sources that have hindered their self-worth and personal development. The goal is to help individuals recognize and let go of internal and external factors that have impacted their self-esteem and potential.
Depositing
Objective
Building on the foundation of self-awareness established in the first phase, this step emphasizes the importance of nurturing and adding positive attributes, skills, and affirmations.
​
Activities
Through interactive workshops, mentorship, and skill-building sessions, participants are encouraged to deposit new, empowering habits, knowledge, and perspectives into their lives. This includes setting personal goals, developing resilience, and cultivating a positive self-image. The focus is on reinforcing personal strengths and fostering an environment of growth and confidence.
Checks & Balances
Objective
The final phase involves ongoing self-assessment and reflection to ensure continued personal growth and alignment with one's true values.
​
Activities
Participants regularly evaluate their progress through self-reflection exercises, feedback sessions, and progress reviews. This step is crucial for maintaining balance, recognizing achievements, and making adjustments as needed. It helps individuals stay grounded in their personal values and continue evolving in their journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
Core Philosophy
The ATM program emphasizes the significance of understanding and embracing one's intrinsic worth rather than seeking validation from external sources. By following the structured three-step process, participants gain clarity on their identity, build a robust sense of self-worth, and are equipped with the tools and motivation to pursue their aspirations confidently.
Impact
Through the ATM program, youth ages 13-17 and young adults 18-22 will experience a profound transformation in their self-perception and personal growth. They will develop a resilient mindset, a stronger sense of purpose, and the confidence to face life's challenges with a renewed sense of self-worth and determination. This program not only aims to transform individuals; but also to inspire them to become motivated and impactful members of their communities.
