Strong body. Steady mind. Made to Thrive.

Our Why

More and more, we find young people abandoning their own sense of self-discovery and creativity and being sucked into anxiety, loneliness and depression. But it’s not their fault. By removing arts, humanities, and critical thinking from education, we’ve abandoned our commitment to them.

Studies show that students who have access to the creative arts perform better on their tests and experience lower levels of stress and anxiety. While art programs are disappearing from many public schools, we’re here to provide young people with a platform to explore their creative potential, gain confidence, and develop entrepreneurial skills. 

What We Do

We have a platform where young people can come and share their photos and stories, and even become entrepreneurs. We also host contests. These contests not only allow participants to be creative, but they also foster discipline, confidence, communication and critical thinking skills – all vital to their long-term success. In return, we reward winning participants with certificates, gifts, a published book, author profiles on our website, and even scholarships.

Crush Club

Crush Club is our Leadership program. It’s an exclusive membership designed to help young women gain leadership experience and skills. It is open to all high school-aged girls, including those who identify as LGBTQ+. Learn More

How it works

Photography & Writing Platform

Our platform allows students ages 13-21 (junior high, high school, and college) to become photojournalists. It’s an amazing opportunity for students to consume less and create more, while in a safe environment.

They can upload and share their photos, write short captions, or even tell stories. If they choose to do so, they can share their content with friends and family and attract subscribers to earn money. Many students will even have the opportunity to get published.

Students under the age of 18 require parental assistance to set up their accounts. Visit AmbitionCrush.com to learn more.

Contests

We host 4-12 writing competitions every year for girls in junior high, high school and college. Competitions range from short story fiction to essays, photo journalism, and even poetry. Each contest has its own rules, which can be found on the “contests” page.

Judging

Judging is done by our community of honorary board, editors, and alumni. Our judging rubric for fiction is based on: Originality, Character Development, Theme, Writing Quality, and Creativity.

Community

We’re more than just contests! From book clubs to writing workshops to career and financial Q&A sessions, we want to do everything we can to help your stay creative, feel courageous and be successful.

Prizes and Awards

You deserve to be recognized for your achievements! Prizes may include the physical publication of your work, an author profile on our site, gifts, and cash prizes. We also host a semi-annual essay contest with a $1000 scholarship award.

Our Mission

We’re on a mission to help this generation develop the communication, critical thinking skills, and self-worth that they haven’t found in traditional education. Our aim is to boost their mental and emotional well-being through writing, photography and publishing. By providing a safe space for them to explore their creativity, we can greatly reduce anxiety and self-judgment, while allowing them to see that diversity and connection are a part of the same circle.
