It doesn't require a great deal of preparation, it is flexible and allows the staff member to participate in a fun way with the kids.” Brian TremblayDirector of DevelopmentThe Boys and Girls Club of Manchester, NH Inspiring! The minute I discovered KidsWin and Will’s 5-Day Challenge, I knew I had to share this experience with my class. What I did not realize was the powerful impact these challenges had on all of us. Students felt empowered and motivated to achieve their dreams, while I now have a greater understanding of my students as individuals. As educators, we strive to give our students meaning for learning; this challenge does that and so much more! Kristin M. Theve Grade 4 Teacher “Thank you for sharing your passion to help children reach their full potential and introducing Will’s Wellness Challenge at the annual Take Your Sons/Daughter to Work Day at Unum. Everyone had a great time learning about Will and working on the collage. It was a wonderful opportunity for the kids to be creative defining wellness and to participate in the planned activities. It was terrific to watch the interaction between adults and the kids as they searched for the perfect pictures for their Wellbie collage! It was great fun!” Sheri Rohn Certified
Wellness Coach During the summer, my summer program, consisting of thirty children ages 5 to 14 participated in Kids Win, “Will’s
Challenge”. This was an amazing experience for the kids and the staff alike! Every time you get a child
to look at or imagine their future, without failure, minds fly open and the realm of possibility is embraced. The message, “Think it, Live it” was well received by the kids and has become a theme for many of them. While my age group didn’t fit the challenge perfectly we easily made adaptations allowing the younger children to work with an older child. “Bigs and little’s” worked side by side throughout the entire challenge, learning about themselves and one another. They learned to BELIEVE in the future and its possibilities. I have seen a great deal of curriculum and feel that “Kids Win” and “Will’s Challenge” is one of the best!
