Brian age 13, grade 8

Dear Jack, What I most enjoyed about this workshop is how you picked random people in our class for group leaders. By doing this, it allowed me to communicate better with my peers. Since I was in a group with random people, I was forced to talk and this helped build my communication ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for working with us on this workshop because without you this wouldn’t be happening. Jack, you believed that we could do this workshop when others said we cannot.

There are things I never would have let out by talking normally with my friends, things that I needed to get out ...

This is my second time participating in this, and it doesn’t get easier. It was hard to open up to people that I didn’t know, but it was a great experience. It was hard to see people cry, even if I didn’t know them, and especially difficult to see the amount that go ...
