EMPOWERme DIY
Because sometimes it’s more fun to do it yourself
Do you wish you could personally facilitate emPOWERme for Students for the young adults in your life? We’re here to support you with the Do-It-Yourself Kit, a collection of facilitation materials for a 6-Hour in-person course for students ages 14 to 18!
The emPOWERme DIY Kit allows you to take our content and deliver it to students in-person at your own facility. This content has been used by teachers in schools, churches, non-profits, and for children of Blanchard employees for 20+ years—and there is no training required to be a facilitator, though we are happy to provide a one-hour overview with any facilitator at no cost.
We offer all materials FREE of charge through Blanchard Institute. Preorder your DIY Kit today at no cost!
What We Will Provide
We will provide 6-hours of learning content divided over 10 short sessions.
Blanchard will equip you with the training design and all PowerPoint slide decks with facilitation notes on each slide, delivery instructions, and a robust student toolkit.
The Kit will have options for students to complete a group project or an individual project.
As a bonus, organizations who sign up for this option will have access to all materials for one year. In return, we only ask for:
Student participation numbers to track completions
Students’ names and email addresses to award them the Credly digital credential

DIY FAQ
What is a Collaborative Online?
Both the Student and Champion programs happen in a collaborative, moderated class over six weeks using the intuitive Intrepid® platform. A collaborative online allows for bite-sized, self-paced activities—like watching a video, reading an article, or participating in a discussion or interaction. Once a week, participants attend a virtual session to bring everyone together, answer questions, help them apply what they are learning, and participate in small-group activities.
What’s the cost?
Our emPOWERme programs are FREE for all participants, including Students, Champions, and DIY Facilitators.
What do you need?
You will need a computer, tablet, or a phone with access to the Internet.
What is the time commitment?
Students should set aside about one hour per week for self-study time, and one hour a week to attend the live virtual session. Adults should set aside about 30 to 90 minutes per week for self-study time, and 90 minutes a week to attend the live virtual session.
When are the virtual sessions?
Our weekly live INSPIRE sessions for students are always held on Tuesdays. Our weekly live CHAMPION sessions for adults are always help on Thursdays. See the registration page for exact times. You have the freedom to attend the weekly session that works best for your schedule!
