Program Manager and Facilitator Copy

High Resolves is a trusted provider of high-quality learning experiences that help young people develop critical life skills, including empathy, resilience and independent thinking.

High Resolves partners with schools to equip young people with life skills through delivering professionally facilitated, immersive student workshops; training educators to deliver supporting lessons in the classroom that complement existing subject areas; and offering real-world project-based learning programs where students can apply their new skills to help solve existing problems in society.

Through the High Resolves program, young people explore their own exposure to bias, misinformation and manipulation, and in doing so, develop greater social and emotional skills, resilience to adversity, and explore ways they can work together to promote security and hope for the future.

High Resolves will work with over 250 Australian schools in 2021. Our expert facilitators are high-energy, deeply engaging and have a wealth of experience working with young people from diverse backgrounds, with diverse learning styles and in diverse school environments.

About the team

Our team is one of a kind. We have a growth mindset and we live by our ten character traits: Passionate, Committed, Purpose-led, Curious, Bold, Pioneering, Rigorous, Relentless, Sincere and Adaptable. We are a local team in a global organisation, bringing a range of experience from teaching to law, social work to financial services, sales to communications – each of us has taken our own path to our current role, but we share a common belief in the vision and mission of High Resolves.
