Good to know

Care includes clarity.

01Is this school tutoring?+

No. It is leadership, personal-performance, and entrepreneurial coaching designed to complement—not replace—school, family, counseling, or other professional support.

02Does a parent or guardian participate?+

For minors, goals, communication boundaries, consent, and the appropriate level of parent or guardian involvement are established before coaching begins.

03Is the nonprofit program already established?+

The broader vision is to expand JR. Step Away CEO into an accessible nonprofit format. Current participation and sponsorship details should be confirmed directly with Shop On Fire.

Put care into motion

One honest act.
One stronger person.
