What is Miles?

Miles promotes positive growth, authenticity, and creative expression.

As a responsive web app accessible on any device, Miles helps youth and caring adults track their moods and complete trails consisting of small steps or microactions to promote personal growth and well-being.

Miles serves as a conduit of open and honest communication between caring adults and youth, enabling them to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe and private space.

Adult leaders can assign trails to youth or create their own trails, providing opportunities for youth to work on specific areas of growth.

Youth can also create their own trails and invite their adults leaders and peers to participate in the journey.

How It All Started

Miles was struggling with school and behavioral issues, and Justin knew he needed to step up as a father. By creating a simple system of microactions that Miles could choose from, they were able to bond over shared activities and experiences, leading to a deeper connection that transformed their relationship. This journey led to Miles’ academic success and a deeper love of learning, and Justin learned that great parenting is all about the little things we do together.
