An Environment for Collaboration
Tales with Teens is led by an incredible group of initiative driven, passionate volunteers! Attending team meetings and working on different aspects of the behind the scenes process, our team not only gets to see the direct impact of their work on families, but are also able to see their own ideas fostered and supported!

Moving Forward
Having already impacted countless families across BC, Ontario, and in the US we hope to provide free and accessible courses all over the world! With new projects coming up we are so excited to continue our work strengthening kids' reasoning skills.
Combatting AI Hyperdepence
In recent years, as a result of the rapid growth of AI, kids and teens have been relying on technology to do projects, make decisions, and even THINK. In fact, a McGill University in October 2026 reported score gaps of roughly 2 years between Canadian teens who use AI every week for school and those who never use it.
Our recent workshop lesson slide
Our classes help kids regain and strengthen their independent reasoning skills, hoping to mitigate the impact of cognitive offloading on the capacity children and teens can make smart judgements, spot biases, and analyze stories.
