Street Interviews- Fearless
Communication Starts Here
This program lays the foundation for confidence in any social setting—from classroom presentations to future job interviews.
Overview of the program
What It Is
One of the greatest fears young people face is speaking to strangers—especially in public. Our Street Interviews program is designed to eliminate that fear in the most empowering way possible. In this activity, participants are guided to conduct short, purposeful interviews with people in public settings.
Whether it’s asking fun questions, getting opinions on social topics, or starting conversations with strangers, your child learns how to speak clearly, handle unexpected responses, and break through anxiety—all while being supported by experienced mentors.
The Street Interviews program places your child in real-world environments where they engage the public with guided questions, topics, or discussions. These could range from light-hearted questions like “What’s your favorite life advice?” to socially relevant themes like “What does confidence mean to you?”
But this isn’t random or unsupervised—every interaction is prepared, practiced, and reviewed with a GenRaise mentor, ensuring your child is both supported and challenged in a healthy, empowering way.
