PROGRAMS
GEM CULTURE RETREATS
20 youth max. from across the United States will be selected to join in on a life changing and self transformational experience designed to build the character of each individual. GEM Culture offers one-day and weekend retreat style expenditures that highlights building the character of each youth as well as providing them with the necessary life skills that they need to succeed and become the best version of themselves. Retreats take place three times a year in various locations throughout the state of Florida. Additionally, the program promotes self-love & awareness, goal-setting, and exposure to different industries, skills and interests through interactive activities, workshops and field experiences.
Due to Covid-19, our programming takes place virtually.
We have decided to postpone our Fall 2020 retreat until further notice. Please check back for more details.
GEM CULTURE Sessions
Students that attend our retreats are able to take them to the next level and opt into our yearly programming. Our sessions are to further build upon what was learned in retreats in order to instill important life skills and character building within the youth that we serve. Sessions take place on a weekly basis throughout each school year starting with the 2020-2021 school years. Enrollment is by invitation only.
