Every teenager already has something extraordinary in them.
We help them see it—through the 7 Teachings.
A structured path for soul-searching that institutions have either forgotten or never bothered to build—purpose discovery for ordinary people seeking growth, meaning, and genuine opportunity.
COE is the soul. The 7 Teachings is the map.
Our moonshot is 100 million people discovering their purpose by 2040. We measure transformation in atoms—single, verified moments where a person gains clarity about who they are, builds a capability they didn't have before, or makes a contribution that changes someone else's trajectory.
Three stages. One unit of change.
What Is an Atom?
The atom is our smallest metric of success. It's the moment someone sees in themselves a newfound power they haven't yet seen before or believed in. That's how we know it's working.
The Problem.
Counseling, career training, therapy… prepares people for a world that will not exist. Our world is exponentially changing. We need character development that transcends economic disruption.
The system catches the failing. It ignores the searching. Safety nets exist for kids falling behind—nothing exists for the kid reaching upward with empty hands.
I sit across from parents who can see brilliance in their children the way you can see a city from an airplane—clearly, completely, from a distance the child doesn't have. And those parents are desperate. Because they can see it, and their child cannot, and no amount of love or money or tutoring has been able to close that gap.
This is an epidemic that nobody talks about because these kids look extraordinary on paper. Schools can't reach them—these schools are often the source of the pressure. And therapy—look, therapy is wonderful. I'm a great believer in therapy. But therapy is a conversation about what's broken. These kids don't need to be fixed. They need to be shown.
Shown the thing inside them that everyone else can see but they can't. They need someone who sees the exception within them—the way my brother once saw it in me, when I was convinced there was nothing there worth finding.
Covenant of Education is the infrastructure for that gap.
Our Origin.
When I was a kid, I had fire inside me but no one to fan it. The system had programs for kids falling behind, but nothing for the kid reaching upward with empty hands.
Two experiences changed my life: a volunteer tutor who showed up three times a week, and a structured system that made my effort visible. Neither told me what to become. They created conditions where I could not help but become more of who I already was.
My brother did not have that. He took his own life. It took me a decade to process the grief and find my way to purpose. I started Covenant of Education so that the distance between lost and aimed would never be that far for anyone again.
We built the 7 Teachings—a philosophy and methodology that creates the conditions for self-discovery. We deliver it through physical NFC cards teenagers can scan for mentorship content, digital courses, facilitated group experiences, and eventually certified practitioners and institutional licensing.
Right now we are proving the model works at small scale. We need partners who believe that purpose-finding should not be an accident of privilege. If you want to be part of building the infrastructure that catches people before they fall through the cracks, this is the moment.
What Path Are You On?
Covenant of Education is a movement of showing up for others—until they are ready to show up for themselves, and can take others along with them on the journey to success.
The best way to make your dreams come true is by taking others along with you for the ride. This is not meant to be an inspirational quote. It's the principle by which we function.
You Already Show Up
You already show up for yourself every day, but you don't have the level of success you know you deserve. We show you how to show up for others in a way that gets you closer to your purpose—by mentoring and inspiring them towards success in your chosen direction.
You're Finding Your Way
You don't yet show up for yourself. In which case we are here for YOU. We will show up for you, until you are ready to show up for yourself—and can take others along with you on the journey to success.
Your Next Step.
Why purpose programs fail—and what happens when you close the loop.
Most youth programs operate like pipelines. A teenager enters, receives programming, and exits. The organization celebrates the graduation, writes a case study, and starts recruiting the next cohort. The graduate disappears. The program resets to zero.
A pipeline leaks energy. A flywheel compounds it.
Clarity: Show Up.
A teenager commits to showing up—not for themselves, for someone else. Paired with a facilitator and held accountable through the 7 Teachings, the work is archaeological: excavating the signal buried under noise. Every teenager already carries something extraordinary. Clarity is the process of learning to hear it.
Capability: Grow.
Clarity without capability is a nice feeling that fades. Once a teenager can name their purpose, we help them build the skills, habits, and resilience to act on it. The 7 Teachings shift from mirror to engine—from seeing who you are to becoming who you can be. The goal isn't incremental improvement. It's full bloom.
Contribution: Give Back.
A graduate faces a choice: carry their purpose forward alone, or multiply it. They can teach—becoming a facilitator who walks the next teenager through Stage 1. Or they can give—funding the infrastructure that makes teaching possible. Either way, the loop closes. The wheel turns again. With every rotation, it carries more weight and moves faster.
The Fuel at the Center
Our flywheel runs on three things we refuse to compromise: love, kindness, and education—the ultimate form of caring and selfless giving. Strip any one of them out and the mechanism stalls. Education alone produces knowledgeable cynics. Kindness alone produces warm feelings with no trajectory. The combination is what makes transformation durable enough to survive the moment a graduate chooses whether to keep receiving or start giving.

Real people. Real atoms. Real change.
Dimash
Dimash came to COE searching for direction. Through the 7 Teachings and structured mentorship, he discovered the DuplicateMe project—synthesizing his skills, passions, and purpose into something he could not have imagined before the process began.
Aselya
As a parent, Aselya could see the brilliance in her child the way you see a city from an airplane. Through COE she watched that gap close—her child stopped waiting for permission to become who they already were.
Elly
Elly “didn't realize” she could do what she did. Through COE she proved to herself what was always there:
- Documentary produced in 10 days
- Learned DaVinci Resolve in 1 week
- 10-min rough cut edited in 5 days
- 30 YouTube videos in 3 weeks
Dr. Jonathan Snyderman
A career spent in medicine and education. Found in COE's framework something most institutions have abandoned—a method that trusts people to discover their own answers.
Dr. Nicholas Hall
An 80-year-old researcher who proved that learning has no age limit. Through COE, Dr. Hall embraced modern AI tools—an atom moment where belief in one's own capacity was the only barrier that needed breaking.
Sara
Through Izzy and the 7 Teachings, Sara learnt the true meaning of family—what it means to show up, to hold space, and to build something together that transcends circumstance.
Tolik (Nafthali, 1983–2014)
COE exists because of one sacrifice. Tolik's life—and his death—gave his brother the clarity to build something that would make sure no one else had to lose everything before they found their purpose.
Izzy Kiver
Filmmaker, educator, builder. Left a conventional path to create the infrastructure for purpose discovery at scale. The 7 Teachings aren't theory—they're the system he used on himself first.
