~ and just like that, it’s Friday and our time at Tennessee Teen Institute has come to an end. We plan to take away our new friendships, empowerment to lead in our schools and communities, and a stronger sense of youth leadership back home with us and what an incredible, impactful, and memorable week at TTI.

🎶 I LOVE MY TTI, I LOVE MY TTI 🎶 💛💙❤️

Thursday Tennessee Teen Institute Vibes 🙌🎉💙❤️💛

Our keynote speaker Kyle Willkom embraced the 2026 TTI theme - Harmony In Motion, Leadership In Action, and gave students an impactful presentation this morning.
Kyle gave us reminders that one action such as kindness can have a ripple effect that may never have an end. Candles lose absolutely nothing by lighting another candle. Be action oriented in your leadership. There’s a reason the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror, keep moving forward. In the moments of tiredness or exhaustion or hardship with friends, remember to be kind to yourself and remember your value is enough! And finally with goals and passions - don’t just think about it, Be About It!

We progressed throughout the day in breakout sessions covering mental fitness, daring to lead authentically, and activating our warrior spirit. It was a great day in youth leadership classes.

We finished our last night strong with a TTI staff takes the stage Talent Show, and games & FUN outside that kept the night going!!

TTI Wednesday vibes 🎉😎🎶❤️💛💙

Our keynote speaker Tanner Clark gave us an insightful reminder about our digital touch and screen time for both youth and adults. Tanner encouraged us to be more present - Be In The Moment. Align ourselves with who we are, and what we want out of life - reminding ourselves to choose kindness, keep promises and intentions, and be intentional.

Today was Safe Driving Day, and our students were in breakout sessions learning about distracted driving, dangers of riding or driving under the influence of any substance, railroad safety education, and interactive driving safety programs that focus on reducing road accidents through education and awareness.

We finished the night super strong (and late 🤪) with the TTI’s GOT TALENT SHOW ~ and what an incredible night watching youth leaders showcase their talents … including our RCADC very own Addison!! 🫶

It’s been an outstanding TTI Tuesday!!

Our keynote speaker Kate Garnes reminded and empowered us to be our own advocate, and not our biggest critic. Learn to speak up for ourselves, and sometimes not everyone who is in your circle is in your corner 🎤⬇️ Being a teenager in today’s world is not easy, but don’t believe the collective lie that everyone has it figured out. Like Hamilton said, 🎶 look around, look around, look how lucky we are to be alive right now 🎶👏

Today’s breakout sessions were focused on youth mental health, healthy teen relationships, mental kindness, and value of friendships.

Our entire RCADC group had one word to recap today: ❤️💙💛

🎉🙌 It’s been a jam packed, incredible first full day at Tennessee Teen Institute!

We took away some impactful messages from our keynote speaker, Shaun Derik:

* Success doesn’t happen by accident - it happens on PURPOSE.
* A bruise can last a few days or a week, but after two weeks, it’s typically gone. Unlike bruises, our words and what we say to others can have a lasting impact - lasting longer than we realize. Be mindful of how you speak to others, and how you treat people.
* Have confidence in yourself!

We participated in the Red Sand Project, and then played Singo! and a very competitive game of TTI Kahoot, and finished the night strong with Spirit Sticks!! 💙💛❤️
