FACE4Kids® just finished its 20th year of providing the popular FACE program this school year to over 300 elementary youth throughout Northeast Florida. Both onsite classes and virtual online workout were available for all students. Every graduate earned recognition awards while presenting an overview of the program at each school location.
Since becoming a non-profit 501c3 in 2010, Fitness and Character Education, Inc. has been able to provide FREE classes where the youth leadership program is needed most, benefitting from strategic partnerships with so many supporters and believers in FACE4Kids®.
FACE4Kids® holds each school accountable with pre/post survey data metrics in 5 categories: Fitness, confidence, school effort, social skills and behavior choices. It is great to have testimonials, photos, requesting locations and word of mouth success. The data confirms that every school has improved since implementing data metrics in 2015.
“I love seeing how the kids grow in confidence during their time in FACE. During this past session I saw a couple of big attitude shifts in particular. One of the girls is very soft spoken and shy and ended up being the first one to recite the poem! She also really grew in her ability to speak in front of her classmates with great poise. In the case of another student who had been struggling with her fitness, I saw her go from being embarrassed and unwilling to join in with the plyometrics, to being able to do all of them with joy. I will always support and utilize this program as long as Sensei Kirk offers it to us!”
FACE4Kids® continues to make a difference in any youth environment. If you know of a location that would be interested in FACE4Kids or interested in more information about FIT [FACE Instructor Training], then please let us know! Thank You.
