Why the Program Works
We define success in lives we’ve changed, and individuals that we’ve reached. To date, over 30,000 people have taken our signature Penny Pledge. See the results for yourself in our 2021/2022 Impact Report below.
The Penny Pledge Program
The Penny Pledge Program has been designed and adapted for grades 4-12. The Elementary School level of the program takes place during three 45-minute classroom sessions and the Middle and High School level of the program takes place during a single, one-hour presentation.

“Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting and less scary.”
