Schools — Joshua Coombes

I help young people thrive by building strong connections with themselves, others, and their community, creating a school culture grounded in kindness and humanity across differences.

Empathy and connection in every classroom.

Young people are searching. For identity, for belonging, for connection. For someone to truly see them.

In a world that is changing faster than ever, emotional well-being and the ability to connect with others are not optional extras. They are essential. As important as any academic or career success is who students are becoming as human beings, with the social and emotional skills to interact with everyone they come across.

Joshua works with schools to bring this culture to your school — helping students build deeper connections with themselves, their peers, and the broader community.

Joshua's assemblies and workshops get beneath the surface of complex issues. Through real stories and honest conversation, students discover their own capacity for empathy, ethical leadership, and meaningful impact.

When students integrate these values into their daily lives, it enriches everything — their relationships, their classrooms, their families, and the communities they are part of.

Kindness across difference.

We live in a time of profound division. Political, cultural, generational — and young people feel that. They see adults talk past each other, dismiss each other, harden against each other. An environment where disagreement so often tips into contempt, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Rooted in vulnerability, empathy, and human connection — Joshua's work helps young people build stronger relationships with themselves and the people around them. This is the antidote for our times
