EMPOWERING KIDS TO THRIVE!

I AM 4 Kids is a cutting-edge program created for second through fifth graders that teaches children how to create an empowering identity for themselves.  It walks them through the identity building process where they finish the thought, I AM…  The children develop their own identity and sense of self.  As a result, they are less likely to be influenced by peer pressure or bullying.

Short term:
I AM 4 Kids was tested in five classrooms in the Chicago area and suburbs.  In those classes:

• 62% of the childrens grades improved
• In class disciplinary actions decreased over 70%

Long term:
More than 1.2 Million students are dropping out of school every year.  That’s more than 6,000 each day and 1 every 26 seconds.  Once they drop out, their future prospects are dim in a world where more and more jobs require advanced skills and education.  When kids go through I AM 4 Kids, they will associate their identity (the core of who they are) with school since that is where they experienced it.  Over time, school will become the new cool.

None is required.  A complete lesson plan and teacher's/paren't guide are provided. In addition, The I AM 4 Kids Foundation will provide online resources for those who choose to immerse themselves in the program.
