Jack, you have the most amazing job and you also seem to have an incredible talent for reaching young people. Reading these letters has motivated me even more. In fact, here is my letter to you… Dear Jack, How can our school ever thank you for making our girls realize their worth and ...

I enjoyed the experience because I met new people. Thanks for getting our family together.

Parent attended My Family Talks Workshop

Today helped me realize that I’m not the only one struggling with situations. Now I have some people I might go to for help that I wouldn’t have before. It helped me also realize people are being judged for more than race or gender. My friends helped me do this allowing me to ...

It was great to let our emotions just be free for a day!!

Student attended My Family Talks Workshop

Dear Jack, Thank you for coming to help us throughout this workshop. This improved my communication skills a lot. Come back to Bosco next year to help the next ones doing this activity. There’s really nothing to improve on since the workshops were successful. (original message)

Dear Jack, Thank you for this experience, it really opened my eyes to so many things I experienced and learned today. You showed us how to work together and put us in groups so we can co-operate with each other, for us to be a leader, to be respectful and get to know ...

Even with all this emotion in this room, it seems hard to be able to express these emotions or cry. But, with this presentation, it’s helped me open up a lot more with my friends, or even people I don’t know. This day has changed my life in every aspect by the way ...

I enjoyed the experience. This is the first time I attend to a workshop of this nature, and with my daughter! Thank you, Jack. It was a lot of valuable information to absorb in one day. I hope to remember them all or the most important: listening to my daughter.

I was grateful that you came here to do this. If you didn’t a lot of people would still feel left out and like no one cares. You helped everyone up. I had never told anyone that I cry myself to sleep just about every night. I also never told anyone that I ...

Just wanted to thank you for being part of our special event last Friday. The energy was outstanding. I hope you were able to see some of the positivity and talent that went on in the auditorium. It was like having a leadership mosh pit 🙂

I enjoyed the workshop. It really opened my eyes on things that I took for granted. Thank for the experience. You bring new life to me and my family. I really appreciate you know your job. Again, I really appreciate it.

Dear Jack, Thank you so much for this experience… though I did not like the last game because often times I don’t like expressing my feelings. Sometimes I feel very alone even though I still have so many friends and I know they will always support me. Often times, I don’t feel like ...

This day was full of surprises and unexpected reactions. Today made a powerful impact on the way I see things. It showed that guys have feelings too and that we are all equal… This day was needed to help us open up. Thank you so much. Everything seems so amazing how real life ...

I expected it to be fun and it really was. It enlightened me that there were so many people just like me and that we all understood each other. I learned that lots of people cared and were willing to help whoever needed it. I learned that I enjoy meeting new people. I ...

Dear Jack, I would like to thank you for firstly coming to our school and allowing us to have this experience. I would also like to thank you for helping me open up to people about vulnerable moments in my life. I truly think we made a difference in some of these grade ...

Dear Jack, I thank you for doing this leadership program today with us. I learned that one of my friends isn’t very happy and doesn’t feel safe from the line you you had us do. I want to thank you so very much for this. If you hadn’t done this it would have ...
