OUR IMPACT

what students are saying…

The mentoring taught me how to love myself… It helped me express my feelings better, and it helped me know I am worth it.
Student in 9th GradeBronx, NY
I often think that I don’t deserve certain things or people’s attention, but this performance helped me see the opposite. I don’t have to compare myself with others because I’m unique and that makes me special.
Student in 12th GradeChicago, IL

what partners are saying…

The Rating Game performance is a phenomenal performing arts experience for both teens and the adults who work with them. The Brave and Courageous courses offer every student a way of putting words to, and talking about similar social, emotional life struggles they experience, and provide adults a way of facilitating non-threatening conversations.
Regional Director of Young LifeBronx, NY
The show was excellent and touched on key issues that our students struggle with. It was a good way to start off our academic year and gives us something to build off as we address the social-emotional needs of our students.
Principal of Wheeling High School Chicago, IL
Students are engaged and build strong relationships with mentors that are being maintained… The mentoring and relationships built through the program are so rich.
