Dear Friend of Challenge Success,

Today’s youth are suffering. It’s time for change ([link removed]) .
* Narrow definitions of success are putting undue stress and pressure on students.
* Students are disengaged, going through the motions, and just “doing school.”
* Adolescent anxiety, depression, and suicide ideation and completion are increasing at alarming rates.
* There exists a misconception that student well-being and academic excellence are mutually exclusive.

We are asking for your financial support ([link removed]) to address the challenges facing our kids and our society as a whole. Please join our “It’s Time for Change” campaign and help us fulfill our mission to extend our reach and partner with more schools, families, and communities to embrace a broad definition of success and implement research-based strategies that promote student well-being and engagement with learning.

We know based on extensive research that when schools implement Challenge Success school reform strategies they make a positive difference in the lives of students:

Educators, clinicians, parents, and students agree that there is an undeniable urgency to take concrete steps to make change happen.

“Frankly, we do not have time for a slow rollout, or to take small steps towards a goal like this. With every year passed, there is a graduating class that will not be able to reap the benefits of the ones after them. We as a town and as a school system owe it to our students to create an open and welcoming space where students don’t feel as though their mental health must take a dive in order to academically excel.” ~ 11th grade student
So, please, the time is now - your donation ([link removed]) will benefit hundreds of schools and thousands of students across the nation. A gift of any amount ([link removed]) is part of the solution. Thank you!

With much appreciation,

Kathy Koo

Executive Director

P.S. - Many employers match charitable gifts. You can double your impact to Challenge Success by inquiring with your employer about the availability of matching funds.
