Help Turn Our Vision Into Reality

With your help, we can meet our goal to introduce the life-changing program, Respect and Manners at School and Work, to fourth- through seventh-graders across the United States and beyond.

We know our goals are ambitious and far-reaching, but they must be if we are to effect positive change, not only in the lives of students but also in the health of our schools, our communities, and our world. We have seen the beginning of this transformation, as students’ self-knowledge fosters self-confidence, mutual respect, and personal and academic achievement.

As a contributor to the emPOWERment project, you can help make our goal a reality. The time is now; the need is urgent.

Why Your Contribution and Support Are So Important

Simply put, it’s because Respect and Manners at School and Work can make an immediate difference in the lives of children. As we have seen, students are quick to embrace its concepts of respect for self and others and are eager to begin living them.

Please stand with us by contributing financially and by sharing our message through this web site www.empowermentusa.org and GoFundMe.com (the emPOWERment project Respect and Manners at School and Work).

Your donations will help support the emPOWERment project and enable us to meet the substantial costs of the continuing program development, production, manufacture, marketing, and delivery of the EP program throughout the country and beyond.

As you may know, your contribution to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit is tax-deductible.

Please help us take this message to the children—for their sakes and for all our sakes. A former student who was asked what he would always remember from our sessions said, “To do good and to try my best.”

In that spirit, can we all make a difference together? Of course, we can. Of course, we must. Our children must believe and act on Helen Keller’s words, “One should never consent to creep when one feels the impulse to soar.”
