Clover Model Curricula
Empowering Youth Through Connection, Reflection & Growth
​
At PEAR, we believe in the power of relationships, storytelling, and self-discovery to build youth resilience. Rooted in the Clover Model of youth development, our Clover Groups, Advisory, and Story-Powered Circles create structured yet flexible spaces where young people can explore their identities, strengthen their emotional well-being, and develop essential life skills—all within a supportive community.

Clover Groups: Small Groups, Big Impact
Rooted in PEAR’s Clover Model, Clover Groups provide a safe space for youth to reflect, share experiences, and build social-emotional strengths. Guided by trained facilitators, these groups help young people:
✔ Develop emotional awareness and regulation
✔ Strengthen problem-solving and communication skills
✔ Build relationships and a sense of belonging
✔ Foster resilience through structured reflection
Clover Groups are ideal for schools, afterschool programs, and community organizations looking to support youth development in a meaningful and research-based way.

PEAR Advisory: A Tier 1 Approach to Youth Resilience
PEAR Advisory is a comprehensive youth development approach designed to foster resilience. Grounded in the latest research on youth development, PEAR Advisory provides structured, engaging experiences that help young people:
✔ Build self-awareness and confidence to navigate challenges
✔ Strengthen peer connections and develop healthy relationships
✔ Develop a growth mindset and problem-solving abilities
✔ Cultivate agency and purpose through meaningful discussions
​
Designed for students ages 9-15, PEAR Advisory is a Tier 1 support that helps create environments where youth feel safe, connected, and empowered to thrive. With structured, easy-to-implement activities, educators and mentors can guide students through developmental milestones while fostering a culture of belonging, engagement, and resilience.
