What the Series Is Designed to Offer

The ACTIVATE video series will feature thoughtful, engaging conversations with mentors, creatives, leaders, and trusted voices who bring both lived experience and practical insight.

Episodes will explore themes such as:

• identity, confidence, and self-trust
  

• emotional intelligence and communication
  

• navigating stress, change, and pressure
  

• relationships, boundaries, and connection
  

• purpose, direction, and life-readiness
  

Each episode is designed to combine perspective with practical tools teens can apply in daily life.

And every voice featured in the series shares one thing in common:

They’ve affirmed ACTIVATE’s shared commitment to teen safety, worth, and inclusion.

That means:

• They believe every teen deserves to be seen, respected, and valued
  

• They celebrate diverse identities and lived experiences
  

• They show up with care, offering insight and perspective
  

• They’ve agreed to ACTIVATE’s Contributor Affirmation, a values-based pledge rooted in honesty, inclusion, and trust
  

You deserve to know that the adults showing up here are grounded, trustworthy voices you can count on. That’s why we take this seriously.

Built From the Ground Up With Teens

ACTIVATE is developing the video series using insight gathered through:

• daily social media micro-offerings
  

• ongoing teen engagement and feedback
  

• partnerships with educators and advisors
  

• early data on what resonates most with teens
  

This approach ensures the series reflects real teen questions, real-world complexity, and diverse lived experiences.

A Foundation of Broad, Relevant Content

The video series draws from ACTIVATE’s Foundation Track, which includes topics relevant to all teens, such as:

• emotional intelligence and resilience
  

• communication and conflict navigation
  

• healthy relationships and consent
  

• financial and career readiness
  

• digital wellbeing and media literacy
  

• equity, inclusion, and allyship
  

• everyday life skills and decision-making
  

This content framework helps ensure the series remains inclusive, practical, and widely applicable.

Why the Timeline Matters

ACTIVATE is intentionally building toward this series over time.

Launching daily micro-content first allows ACTIVATE to:

• support teens immediately
  

• build trust through consistency
  

• refine language and tone
  

• strengthen partnerships and contributor relationships
  

By the time the video series launches, it will do so with a connected audience and a clear sense of what teens find most meaningful.
