Clover-Aligned Curricula
Empowering Youth Through Connection, Reflection & Growth
​
At PEAR, we believe in the power of relationships, storytelling, and self-discovery to build youth resilience. Our Clover Groups, Advisory, and Story-Powered Circles create structured yet flexible spaces where young people can explore their identities, strengthen their emotional well-being, and develop essential life skills—all within a supportive community.​
Clover Groups: Small Groups, Big Impact
Rooted in PEAR’s Clover Model, Clover Groups provide a safe space for youth to reflect, share experiences, and build social-emotional strengths. Guided by trained facilitators, these groups help young people:
✔ Develop emotional awareness and regulation
✔ Strengthen problem-solving and communication skills
✔ Build relationships and a sense of belonging
✔ Foster resilience through structured reflection
Clover Groups are ideal for schools, afterschool programs, and community organizations looking to support youth development in a meaningful and research-based way.
