POND BUILDERS CLUB

Youth Development Through a Creative Lens

Youth development programs are nothing new to the world as youth programs are very necessary for various reasons. DUCK House University is not here to combat the facts of the necessity of youth programs. We are here to ignite the fire and passion of youth development with creativity serving as the driving force. With proven concepts in the bag, and transformational results, The Pond Builders Club is seeing youth prevail in various ways. 

This is not an intervention coaching program; this is a progression program. We Develop. We Deliver. We Dominate

Youth Groups are Not Enough.

Although youth groups are beneficial, without intentional messaging and direct outcome-based structures, they will not produce transformative results. Our coaching program combats this potential issue with youth by intentional dialog and context via individual and group sessions in addition to micro learning courses and coursework. Our coaching principles combined with courses and coursework is the formula for desired outcomes and transformation.   

-Effective communication based at the root of desired outcomes helps identify the probability of achievement and dedicated work ethic that will be given.

-Effective communication based at the root of behavioral outputs helps identify the impacts of environmental factors no matter if the outputs are deemed negative or positive. 

Hope is Not a Strategy


Methodology & Execution Will Be the Life of Transformation.


WE DEVELOP. WE DELIVER. WE DOMINATE

If you give a man to fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. If you teach that man how to build a pond, you are introducing him to generational wealth.- Dr. Kimbro

We Are Coaches, Not Mentors

Our coaches are here to motivate and give a positive push in the right direction. We are here for navigation and support through your journey. The difference between mentoring and coaching is the value proposition. Mentorship provides an aesthetic or person to follow as a standard with a soft approach. Coaches assess the desired outcome of the person, devise a plan of action, and coach them to their personal championship with a very intentional "let's get it done" coaching style. 
Overview

Our Ideal Youth Clients

The foundation of youth is their upbringing and how they process information and experiences. Every youth that has trouble doesn't come from a bad home and every youth that come from a bad home means they will be in trouble. We coach youth from where they are and help develop their mindset and creative skills to get them to where they want to be. Hope is not a strategy. Intentional Action is though! 

Artists

Artists are those that have a specific desire to create art in the form of painting, drawing, and graphic arts. We love to work with artists and help them develop their creative styles and approaches to creative expression. Artists acquire various transferrable skills such as composure, patience, critical thinking, and positive response to negative circumstances. 

Future Entrepreneurs

It's never too early to establish a solid foundation of understanding business and structure to go along with the hustle mindset. Youth all over the world are faced with alternative ways to make money and some of those options are degrading and will lead to self-destruction. We coach our youth through positive endeavors to reach positive outcomes.

Ready-to-Risk

The world has defined the term at-risk youth as a term of being on the brink of self-destruction. At the Duck House, we call them "Ready to Risk" students because they have reached a point where they are ready to go all in on something, but instead of dwelling on negative, we shift the focus to the positive. We coach these youth to learn to risk it in the right way that leads to transformation and dominance

Creatives

Creatives are described as individuals with creative abilities that are not in the vein of pencils and paint. Creatives are those that may be into fashion, design, video production, podcasting, and vlogging. They have a creative desire that can serve as the driving force to transformation. Our work with our young creatives has developed passions for their work and developed their mindset leading to countless opportunities.

Undecided

The Undecided youth are those that may have many ideas and passions they want to explore so they remain undecided due to overwhelm. We like to coach these youth in the form of exploration and storytelling. The art of storytelling produces various skills of mindset development such as, diversity, cultural appreciation, structure, difference between real and fabrication, and mental freedom. 

Athletes

We love working with young athletes because thay are always being challenged mentally and physically. They understand very quickly how fast they can be a relevant part of the team, and how fast they can be benched. On their journey though, they acquire a level of aggression that can sometimes go untamed. We like to help these young athletes develop a mindset of consistency and values that will open doors for them beyond professional sports dreams.
