This November and December we train 150 Mental Health & Happiness Teachers in Ghana and Guatemala. $297 sponsors one. 100% of your gift funds the Happier Schools Program.
Over 20,000 kids reached since 2018. The next 5,000 a year start here.
Your donation does not pad a bottom line. It sponsors a teacher in a school or orphanage that needs happiness most, this year in Ghana and Guatemala. You give once. That teacher carries the program for a whole career.
Each teacher we train this year carries the happiness program into their classroom for the rest of their career, reaching roughly 30 kids a year, and 5,000+ across all 150 teachers.
They teach mental health, the effects of screen entertainment, the three types of happiness, and the social-emotional skills that equip kids for lives of joy and service. That is how a single gift keeps giving long after the play day ends.
The whole thing in three steps.
Anderson would often get into fights at school and struggled to make friends. After I implemented the happiness program with my class, Anderson rarely fights anymore, he has made friends, is doing well academically and now enjoys coming to school.
The exact cost to train and certify one teacher in the Happier Schools Program.
A recurring gift keeps teachers in classrooms all year long. Give what feels right each month.
Five dollars or five hundred, 100% goes toward happier classrooms. Every gift moves the trajectory.
Every Play Pilgrimage carries the spirit of three friends and mentors. What they taught lives on in the classrooms your gift helps create.
Tom taught that our greatest moments of joy come from our relationships with others. It is one of the most important lessons we teach on every Play Pilgrimage.
Jared served alongside Alex in the Peace Corps, both at orphanages. One of the most positive people he ever knew. We teach what Alex embodied.
A friend and professional mentor who taught Jared to let people experience what he is teaching. He inspired the experiential pedagogy at the heart of every workshop.
If you would love to spread more happiness with your time and skills, we want to meet you.
Give once, or give monthly. 100% of your gift funds the Happier Schools Program, this year in Ghana and Guatemala. Thank you for playing it forward.
