Discover empowering and supportive communities around the world.

Connection and collaboration is as important outside of the classroom as within. With Touchstones, people of all ages develop skills and relationships that explicitly and intentionally support continued growth and empowerment. In Touchstones Community Discussions, every member has an equal right to speak and learn and an equal responsibility to listen and make room for others. By sharing experiences, reflecting and examining their ideas as a group, members of our community programs build confidence and come to a greater understanding of themselves and others.
