The Group Project Survival Kit™

Group projects can test more than your academic skills. They can test your patience, communication, boundaries, confidence, and ability to keep moving when everyone is not on the same page.

The Group Project Survival Kit™ is a practical, soul-centered digital resource designed to help students navigate group work with greater clarity, confidence, accountability, and calm.

Instead of simply telling students to “work together,” this kit gives them concrete tools to help them actually do it.

Whether you are dealing with unclear roles, missed deadlines, uneven workloads, communication breakdowns, conflicting personalities, or last-minute project stress, this resource helps you pause, get organized, communicate clearly, and move the project forward without losing yourself in the process.

It is to help students learn how to collaborate without abandoning their boundaries, advocate for themselves without unnecessary conflict, address problems before they become crises, and develop skills they can carry into college, careers, leadership, and everyday relationships.

Communicate clearly.
Clarify expectations.
Contribute responsibly.
Repair when needed.
Finish stronger.
