Over 17 Years of Effective Youth Engagement
Saying Something Inc. is a youth engagement strategy company that researches trends, topics, and best practices related to young people and designs energetic and innovative youth presentations, tailored to the school/organization’s pain points, method of learning, and objective.
This site provides a little info about who we are, who we work with, how we do our magic, and why we’re still in the game after 17 years. Let’s begin our story together!
No matter what is going on around us, we have the power to right our own story. In times like these many people are losing hope, pointing fingers, or just plain give up. So what separates those who stop from those who stand? What’s the difference between those who log off to those lock in? Simple… practice. It’s taking one micro step at time.
“Success doesn’t happen on accident, it happens on purpose.” – Shaun Derik
Just as every thought precedes an action, our habits proceed our behavior. In a nutshell, our habits are simply things we’ve rehearsed over and over again. Using the metaphor “life is a song,” we teach participants that whatever you practice you become more of; that confidence is a practice. Bravery is a practice. Listening is a practice. And so on and so forth.
The Use Your Inside Voices model encourages young people to begin to change the station in their heads–in other words, tune the dial to information, music, content, and peers that are more congruent with where they want to be.
Just like the components of a successful production, our programs challenge young people to learn, practice and perform positive habits.
Step up, speak out, take risks, and boldly chase and stand for what you believe in!
Tap into your gifts, talents, and abilities to create impact and inspire meaningful change.
Push through obstacles and challenges, and turn setbacks into stepping stones for success.
Rediscover your dreams, trust your gut, and go after what sets your soul on fire!
Let’s create lasting impact for your youth and service providers.
