Registration Is OPEN: Your Teen's Seat at the MTS Teen Emotional Literacy Tour Is Waiting

When we first shared the news that Let Her Shine is bringing the Motivating the Teen Spirit 2026 Teen Emotional Literacy National Tour to the DMV, we told you registration would open soon.

That day is here. Registration is officially open and seats are filling up.

On August 8–9, 2026, up to 150 teens will gather at the University of North America in Fairfax, VA for two immersive days with the legendary Lisa Nichols — building communication with clarity, self-trust, and confidence under pressure. It's completely free for teens ages 12–18, meals included, with parent/guardian consent required.

We'll say it the way we always do: Have a teen? Know a teen? Are a teen? This is the moment. Space is limited, registration is first come, first served, and once capacity is reached — that's it. With school returning around August 20, this weekend lands at the perfect time: our teens walk into the new year carrying real tools, not just summer memories.

Like diamonds, our teens shine brightest when they're given the tools to grow through pressure. This is that weekend.

Save the Date: Graduation Night — Sunday, August 9, 5:30–7:30 PM

The weekend still culminates in the moment we can't stop talking about: teens stepping forward to share, in their own words, what they discovered about themselves. Families, community leaders, and partners are invited. We'll have tissues on hand to pass out.
