The World Changers Academy
Fall Cohort

Turn “I don’t know” into “Here’s my plan”

before Thanksgiving Break.

New Cohort Starts September 15, 2025

You're not alone if you're thinking:
​
  • “My teen has no direction—and we’re running out of time.”
     

  • “College might not be the right fit, but what else is there?”
     

  • “I just want to help—but they won’t listen to me.”
     

As a parent, you're doing everything you can to support your teen, but it still feels like you’re stuck in the same frustrating cycle. Maybe your encouragement gets brushed off. Maybe you’re not sure what advice to give. Or maybe you're just tired of having the same conversation with no real progress.


That’s where the World Changers Academy Fall Cohort comes in. It bridges the gap between your support and your teen’s next steps so you can both move forward with clarity and confidence

The College Is Not Mandatory

World Changers Program

Today’s young adults have endless career opportunities and yet have very limited knowledge as to what is available to them. They also struggle to find careers that are meaningful for them, often spending time and money unnecessarily because they do not understand how to find a career path that matters to them. 

​

The College Is Not Mandatory World Changers Career Academy is a comprehensive and multi-faceted career identification program for teens and young adults age 15-24. With this program, students are able to make better informed decisions about their future and develop the confidence and self-belief to pursue their goals.

Tools, Resources, and Training for Parents and Educators

Many high school students feel enormous pressure when it comes to making decisions about their future. Parents aren’t always sure how to help their teens figure out their next steps. Educators, administrators, and guidance counselors have limited time to spend with each student.

​

Career coach and consultant Stephanie Haynes, PCC, GCDF, SCDA creates custom coaching and training programs specifically designed to empower all stakeholders to equip teens to build a career development pathway they are excited to pursue.

Happy Teen

Meet Stephanie Haynes, GCDF, SCDA, PCC 

Today's teens are stuck in an outdated definition of success. It is no longer beneficial to continue the one-size-fits-all college-for-everyone mantra. Today's teens need to be equipped to break the mold and build career-centered pathways they are excited to pursue, making high school relevant to their futures.

​

As a former teacher, a parent, and now professional career coach and consultant, I’m committed to working with administrators, educators, guidance counselors, parents, and students to empower them to reimagine the culture of success and equip them to build custom plan to bring it to life.
