1 on 1 Mentorship Sessions

1-on-1 conversation with Isha, Career and Education Coordinator of YAMT. These sessions are a space to ask questions, receive guidance, and gain tools and skills for education, employment, and/or business development goals. 

Offered Daily, Advanced Registration Required

Open Focus Lab (General Co-Working Space)

Sometimes the hardest part of navigating our goals is just sitting down and starting, and this session exists to hold that space with you. Open Focus Lab is a dedicated hour of co-working space where you bring whatever you're working on and get it done. Beginning with a brief breathwork and intention setting practice, the rest of the time is yours to work on any tasks from study, emails, or business planning materials, all while having the opportunity to work with our Career & Education program coordinator if needed. (Pre-registration not required)

Wednesdays at 3pm ET - Virtual, Join Meeting Room

Refusing Business Burnout (Small Business/Contractor Focused Coworking Space)

A virtual meet-up designed specifically for survivor-led business owners to build practical systems for the month ahead. Together, we’ll create realistic monthly plans that help turn big ideas, goals, and vague intentions into actionable next steps without overwhelming to-do lists or burnout. Participants will receive a monthly planning template to organize priorities, identify manageable commitments, and stay aligned between sessions. By the end of each workshop, participants will leave with a clearer plan for their business and connection to a community of fellow survivor entrepreneurs navigating growth together.

Financial Self Care

A practical and supportive workshop focused on practicing financial awareness, nurturing sustainable money habits, and reducing stress around personal finances. Participants will explore their relationship with money, identify their current financial priorities, and practice simple tools for checking in with their financial wellbeing. Together, we will discuss budgeting as a form of self-care, preparing for upcoming expenses, and making financial decisions that align with personal goals and values.

Back to School Strategies:

Navigating group projects, classroom discussions, and campus social settings can bring up unpredictable dynamics, especially when coursework touches on sensitive subject matter. This workshop offers strategies for setting boundaries in group work, requesting modifications when course content feels triggering, and formally requesting accommodations for accessibility needs through your school's disability or accessibility services office. We'll also cover time management approaches for balancing group commitments with your own capacity, and how to approach meeting new people and building classroom connections at a pace that feels safe. Participants will leave with practical language and tools for advocating for their needs in academic and social settings without over-explaining or overextending themselves.

Thursday, September 24th from 6:00 to 7:30pm ET - Virtual - Pre-Registration Required
