Through the use of a corporate theme, branding, boardroom setting, creative teaching strategies and curriculum the Powerhouse operates as a ‘safe place’ for youth or ‘Power-Broker’s’ to transact or trade the unwanted emotional, mental and social baggage in their lives for valuable and useful commodities or skills that will enable them to be successful in the classroom, work, family and collegiate environment.
Each student’s work area or ‘office’ is set up in an executive style with a Corporate Board Manual containing curriculum, desk pad, pencil cup, business card holder and name plate. To increase each student’s self-esteem and self-worth as well as to enable them to envision a brighter future for themselves, students are referred to as “Dr. & their last name.”
