Modern Adulting master classes and workshops are for young adults who want to

• live a more interconnected future

• learn transferable skills

• support causes they care about

These programs are also great for mentors, managers, and parent advocates who want to support the modern adults in their lives achieve more.

Our mission is to help modern adults learn how to Adult With Confidence™.

Confidence comes from skill acquisition. The Modern Adulting Playbook provides a simple, consistent learning framework—so intuitive that anyone can learn it, and anyone can teach it. These classes are an investment in the skills traditionally taught at home, not in school, that we believe are transferable in a vast number of personal and professional settings:

• Care Tasks

• Life and Safety

• Community Engagement

• Time and Money Management

• Executive Functioning Skills

Founded in 2020 by JoAnna Datz, My Third Hand is a talent development and learning platform created in response to the growing caregiver crisis, a challenge magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our areas of focus are

• home economics

• the future of work

• positive psychology

Modern Adulting is built on the belief that today’s adults benefit from additional, non-parental mentorship and structured guidance to thrive. As the demands of modern life evolve, many essential life skills are no longer passed down in a consistent way—leaving a critical gap in how people prepare for adulthood. We’re filling that gap by providing accessible learning systems that foster confidence, resilience, and long-term stability.
