Kindness Programs

The Wobbly Willie Program focuses on students in K-8 schools, and it also focuses on the faculty and administrators who support and lead students through their education. When we do not include adults on school campuses, we miss out on a tremendous opportunity for increased self-awareness and personal and professional growth. By acknowledging that “we’re all in this together” and that all of us can improve our kindness skills, we allow the vulnerability that makes us relatable role models for students.

The Wobbly Willie Program is an innovative school-based program that strives to educate students, families, faculty, and staff about the benefits of kindness, and then empowers them to create a culture of kindness in their school and beyond.
