“This curriculum offers a broad range of lesson plans that can be easily adapted to fit the needs of nearly any class or group. In fact, I'm currently training older students to lead some of the activities from Overcoming Obstacles with younger students in the program!”

“We have been using the program for four years at the Children's Aid Society and have found it to be a great asset to our youth programming in community schools. The program has provided critical content for our Freshman Seminar and Town Meeting programs, which serve to prepare incoming students for success at the high school and middle school levels, respectively.”

“I use it [Overcoming Obstacles program] periodically to enhance and enforce themes, conflicts, choices in literature and it is an invaluable tool for teaching students skills they might not otherwise obtain. The activities are accessible and topical to all students who seem to truly enjoy them without feeling like it's work.”

“Overcoming Obstacles works very diligently to positively affect the youth who will eventually run our society. The program inspires them, encourages them, and helps them realize their own self-worth. It is a much needed catalyst to prepare our youth for the future.”
