What is the School Portfolio?

The School Portfolio gathers the Powstik paths and outcomes that fit that goal. You do real work, get it checked, and share one link.

Who is it for?

It is for people who want to build a School record with real work. You pick the paths and outcomes that fit your goal.

Is it free?

Paths, proofs, checks and your Portfolio link are free for everyone. Arena, the paid plan with teams and a league, has a monthly price shown on the Join button.

How does verification work?

A real person who knows your work signs in and checks each proof. You can never check your own proof. Paying for Arena never skips this check.

Group challenges, every week. Team up, do real work, climb the league.

What you get

  1. 1. Team up and climb — Your team ranks in a weekly league.
  2. 2. Get checked sooner — Your proof moves up the line.
  3. 3. A Trophy Case to show — One link with all your checked work.

How it works

  1. 1. Pick a challenge. Team up with 2 friends.
  2. 2. Do the work. Upload your proof.
  3. 3. Three real people check it. Your team climbs.

How a school proof works

No school proofs yet. Yours can be the first.

  1. Pick something real to do. Choose an outcome from a School path, like a science project or a first website.
  2. Do the work and log it. Add a photo, a link or a short note that shows what you made.
  3. Get it checked. A teacher, a parent or a classmate who saw the work says it is real.

Mentor Ten People Toward a Real Goal

5 milestones · 24 weeks

This is the second rung of the Community Leadership Path. Where governance-start-study-group tested leading one voluntary group, this outcome tests whether that leadership ability generalises into a repeatable practice across many different individuals — the skill that underlies community organising, teaching at scale, and eventually larger governance roles. Mentor at least 10 different people, each with an individually-defined goal, with evidence of real ongoing guidance per person and durable change after your regular involvement ends. The core risk this outcome guards against: claiming 'I mentored 10 people' based on 10 shallow one-off conversations. Each relationship must show trackable progress toward something the mentee actually wanted.
