Are you ready to switch things up?
With the growing demands placed on students today, finding a healthy balance has become increasingly challenging. Kids often feel overwhelmed, unsure of what to do or where to start.
Students, can you relate?
You want to thrive...
You have a desire to feel more positive and have more energy. Your day is stressful, and it seems like there's always more to do.
There are lots of ideas out there about ways to increase your happiness and well-being, but you're not sure where to start. You wish someone would just give you the tools, tips, and best practices.
You seek connection...
You would love to be part of a community with like-minded, positive people but who and how?
Your day is dictated by your schedule, and your interactions are mostly with your classmates. While that's okay, there's a part of you that longs to be with those who genuinely lift you up.
You want to serve....
You want to make an impact and imagine how rewarding it would be to help others alongside friends.
Serving others sounds great, but you don't know where to start or who truly needs your help. Perhaps you have an amazing idea, but you're unsure how to get your project off the ground. It just feels like there's too much to figure out.
You're Not Alone in Your Challenges
We know how busy life can be and finding time to connect with others can be challenging. That's why we created Change Agents. We are a team of positive optimists who believe in using our character strengths to cultivate well-being, spread optimism, and serve others. Our passion is to make the world a better place where everyone thrives.
Introducing
Change Agents
Students thrive when we give them the tools, tips, and techniques to prioritize their well-being.
Do you want to be part of something that will change your life and help you make a positive impact?
Let's break it down
Here's what you'll get when you join us today!
Hey, Change Agent!
I'll start the session and share some of the principles of positive education with you.
I'm here to start the conversation, but I don't intend to lead it the whole time - this is a place for you to meet others. Chime in or hang out and listen to others.
* If you can't meet us live, don't worry. The sessions will be recorded; you can catch them when you have time.
We can all use a little positivity to inspire us, but what about the days when we struggle?
During our time online we will go over tips, tools, and techniques to help us stay optimistic.
What works for you may not work for others, so I'll be sharing lots of resources.
* Check the online resource library where you'll find activities, prompts, student interviews, and animations to keep you inspired.
Let's get out there to put our positive practices to work!
Each month we will organize a community activity where we can meet up, have fun, and create impact.
I know there are times when you need to complete service work for a club or organization, and finding something on your own is tricky. I'll help you!
* If you can't meet up with us because of time or distance, just let me know. I want to support you - we can work something out!

Meet your Mentor
Hey, I'm Christy Smith.
I've been an educator for more than 25 years, teaching students in public and private schools. One of my greatest passions is bringing the principles of positive education to students. I believe a balance between academics and well-being is essential if kids are going to thrive.
Many students, parents, and educators are looking for best practices to overcome challenges, stress, and burnout. Don't we all want to live a life of more ease, peace, and happiness?
I am a certified teacher, Applied Positive Psychology Practitioner, and Certified Positive Educator and Trainer. I have devoted my energy and attention into well-being science, and I want to share what I have learned with you so you can flourish!
I love building community, and Change Agents gives us the opportunity to create meaningful connections. Building relationships enhances our ability to achieve success inside and outside the classroom. They keep us engaged, inspired, and empowered.
I'm excited to meet you and support you on your personal growth journey!

We all have a unique way of approaching life. According to positive psychologists, these are your character strengths. These strengths are what make you - YOU!

In Change Agents, you will discover your strengths and experience opportunities for you to show them and grow them. We want to inspire you to bring your strengths to the world!

What Our Members Say About Change Agents
Being able to make a change for kindness in our school environment with my friends made me feel so capable of doing great things!
Change Agents was my first club in middle school. As a young sixth grader eager for fun and different opportunities, this was the perfect fit for me. It taught me about creativity and how to use my voice in a public setting. I have so much gratitude for Mrs. Smith, her loving manner, and this club!
Sarah E. ~ Middle School Student
As I finish up my high school journey, having a positive and kind attitude toward all people has helped me land where I am today.
Through sports, relationships with friends and teachers, and clubs like Change Agents, I have discovered the benefits of bringing compassion and a positive attitude into my interactions. It feels good to bring joy and hope into the world. In today's day and age, people can be negative and mean. It's easy to fall into that realm. Everyone needs a kind, thoughtful, optimistic person in their life, and we always need more of them!
Jake B. ~ High School Student

Bayynah M. ~ High School Student

...In the Change Agents Club, Mrs. Smith created opportunities for students to make a difference by organizing volunteer projects and making signs with positive messages around school. Overall, I am grateful for her help and believe more students will benefit from her positive psychology coaching.
Emily M. ~ Middle School Student
Mrs. Smith's was not just my teacher, she was my mentor.
Mrs. Smith radiates positivity! She has left a lasting imprint on my life. There was a time when life felt really challenging and nothing was easy because I was always sad. But, I knew Mrs. Smith was there for me, and that just felt really nice. I looked forward to her program every week; it was a bright light in the face of darkness."
