How do I request training?
How can my organization partner with Strong Minds?
What family workshops and events are available?
How do I register for an event?
How do I schedule a call?
How do I join an interest list?
How do enrolled students eventually access the Virtual Campus?
The website must generate real leads and store them in a founder-accessible backend.
Do not create a decorative website with dead buttons, fake addresses, or forms that lead nowhere 4. DESIGN DIRECTION
Create a professional, modern, youth-centered website.
The visual identity should feel:
Bold
Structured
Credible
Community-centered
Leadership-focused
Youthful without appearing childish
Professional enough for institutional clients
Warm enough for families

Use a visual system that works across youth, family, mentor, and professional audiences without making the divisions look like separate companies.
Recommended visual character
Use:
Strong contrast
Clean typography
Deep neutral or dark tones
Warm accent colors
Clear section backgrounds
Youth-centered photography
Images of Black and Brown young people in leadership, learning, collaboration, creativity, mentorship, and community settings
Images of adults facilitating, mentoring, teaching, and collaborating
Spacious layouts
Strong calls to action
Clear card-based pathways
Accessible text sizes
Do not use:
Generic corporate imagery
Childish clip art
Fake testimonials
Fake metrics
Fake partnerships
Fake student outcomes
Random stock images unrelated to the program
Dense walls of text
Thin pages with only a heading and three bullets
