Why Choose The BOLO Project for Your Teen?
Program Overview
The BOLO Project is a holistic program specially designed to equip teens with the essential skills they need to thrive, both in life and in their academic journey. From building leadership qualities to mastering financial literacy and preparing for college and beyond, we set the foundation for a bright and successful future.
We believe dogs change the way we feel and how we see the world. Science has shown that dogs can play a huge role in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. The BOLO project takes a dog-centric approach to helping teens “fetch anything they desire in life”.
This workshop style program begins with a two-day retreat to introduce strategies for building a success mindset, to cope with stress and anxiety, and to improve leadership and communication skills. The retreat combines fun and engaging exercises, speakers, and group activities.
Following the retreat, teens will attend eight 90 minute sessions once per week focused on the four pillars:

Real Stories, Real Students, Real Impact
"Whatever you are doing should be taught to all therapists and mental health organizations. We have been struggling with our child's mental health for the past 2 years or so, and we haven’t seen her as happy as she is now since 2021, despite working with multiple therapists. She is so excited to be a part of your program.
The service project component is huge and has always been an area where we have seen her come alive as she loves to help others. I’m sure it’s equally exciting for the other youth in the group.
Thank you for your good work!" - Alicia
