WHY GROWMATE?
AI is reshaping how young people learn, think, and prepare for the future.

OUR STORY
GrowMate™ Youth PBL Club began with a simple belief:
children grow best when they create, explore, and connect in the real world.
We saw that many young people were completing assignments, passing tests, and meeting academic expectations—yet still missing something essential: the opportunity to build confidence, purpose, and the human skills that shape who they become.
ABOUT GROWMATE
Who We Are
GrowMate™ Youth PBL Club is an extracurricular learning community for youth ages 6–18.
We combine interdisciplinary Project-Based Learning (PBL) with role-model mentorship to build real-world problem-solving ability and AI-proof soft-skill competencies.
We believe learning happens through doing, exploring, and connecting — not simply memorizing.
Every GrowMate experience transforms knowledge into action, action into capability, and capability into confidence and purpose.
OUR APPROACH
The GrowMate Approach™ integrates three pillars into a cohesive growth system:
Project-Based Learning (PBL), Role-Model Mentorship, and the SPECCC™ Soft Skills System.
