Project Title: Confidence Club
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
A CHILD SHOULD NEVER FEEL INVISIBLE
\nA young girl grows up believing she is nothing\u2026 that success is a fairy tale meant for someone else. Slowly, she withdraws. Her confidence fades. Opportunities narrow. This is the quiet reality for thousands of children. But we can change it — if we meet them where they are.<\/p>\n
WHY SELF-ESTEEM MATTERS
\nResearch consistently demonstrates that education alone does not lead to success. Self-esteem is essential for fueling curiosity, resilience, perseverance, and more. When it is low, potential shrinks; when it grows, children aim higher, stay healthier, and achieve more.<\/p>\n
SELF-ESTEEM RISING: FREE AND PROVEN
\nFor 17 years, the Hance Family Foundation has delivered Self-Esteem Rising, a suite of five programs that build confidence and life skills like self-awareness, emotional strength, and relationship-building. We\u2019ve expanded opportunities for more than 260,000 people — always at no cost. In a Harvard-affiliated evaluation of our flagship program, every participant reported increased confidence.<\/p>\n
EXPANDING ACCESS FOR SPANISH-SPEAKING STUDENTS
\nDemand for Spanish-language materials is rising quickly, especially in the underserved schools and communities who need us most. To ensure no child is left behind, we are translating and printing our workbooks in Spanish.<\/p>\n
At just $5 per book, students will get access to life-saving tools that change how they see themselves and their futures.<\/p>\n
OUR REQUEST
\nWe respectfully request $10,000 to support translation and printing of 2,000 workbooks for our most popular program (about one year\u2019s worth).<\/p>\n
LASTING IMPACT
\nThe Hance Family Foundation shares the Hermanowski Foundation\u2019s belief that all children deserve unbounded futures. With your support, thousands of children who feel overlooked will be able to find their voices, build confidence, and pursue brighter futures. Together, we can ensure language is never a barrier to self-worth and that every child has the chance to thrive.\n<\/p>\n
