The Missing Course
for Today's Youth
Every adult knows academics matter. But the skills that truly lead to a thriving life? Those aren't taught in any classroom—until now.
We All Know the Problem
Every adult recognizes there's a gap between academic education and real-life success
Schools Teach Academics
Math, science, history—essential subjects that build knowledge but don't prepare youth for life's real challenges.
Life Skills Are Missing
The specific skills that lead to thriving—resilience, financial literacy, communication—are left to chance.
No Course Exists
Until now, there hasn't been a comprehensive program specifically designed to teach these critical life skills.
"Why isn't there a course for young adults that teaches these skills?!?"
Rob Heller asked this same question 20 years ago—and found the answer.
The Solution
The Boost Program: 26 Skills That Change Lives
The Boost Program was born when Rob Heller's son became a teenager. Knowing that his son's ability to thrive would depend more on life skills than academic achievement alone, Rob searched for the right program.
He couldn't find one. So he created his own—backed by 20 years of research and real-world testing. And it's working.
"These 26 skills aren't just nice to have—they're the foundation for a successful, fulfilling life."
— Rob Heller, Creator of Boost Program
