Frequently asked questions
How does Ready, Set, ASPIRE work?
Once you sign up for Ready, Set, ASPIRE, you are able to register for courses, participate in exclusive live events, and browse the catalog of daily news articles and best resources. Your favorite pages will be either the Home or Profile pages. You can see how much time you’ve spent in a course, what new things have been added to the platform, messages, and/or blog posts. As we add more content or offer new features, you will be the first to know as a registered user. If you are a part of a private group, such as a club or school, your private assignments/activities will show up in your profile as well. Our community forums are exclusive to each course a user is registered for.
It seems like there are lots of virtual communities and platforms out there. How does Ready, Set, ASPIRE stand out?
We provide engaging courses for all users by offering live sessions, pre-recorded content, etc. Ready, Set, ASPIRE was birthed out of a need to continue the conversation without the barrier of being in person during a pandemic. However, as we began creating this platform for our community to use, we saw the vast opportunity to connect with others, provide a safe space to learn about topics that can often be sensitive, and the ability to provide resources in a way we wouldn’t normally during in-person presentations. Youth and young adults search for information regarding relationships online all the time, so we created this platform for them to learn and grow without feeling that they have to aimlessly wander the internet. Although an amazing resource, the internet can sometimes leave us vulnerable to misleading content when searching for relationship information and resources. Our platform pulls together credible resources, provides courses, gives an outlet for people to use their voice, and know that those on the other end, running the platform, want the absolute best for them. Ready, Set, ASPIRE is from us (The ASPIRE Team) but powered by our users.
What if I do not sign up for a course, yet? Can I still sign up?
Absolutely! This platform is designed to be a great place for everyone, even if you have not quite yet decided to sign up for a course. You will get the most value as a registered course user, however, you are welcome to join the community for all the other great things Ready, Set, ASPIRE has to offer! This platform caters to teens and young adults, from ages 12-24, and their support persons i.e. parents/guardians, youth group leaders, teachers/tutors, and mentors. However, this platform is valuable to anybody that is interested in learning more about healthy relationships with others and themselves.
