From the report...

"At Challenge Success we work to improve the physical and emotional well-being of students, and
offer them new ways to engage with learning. In just a few years we’ve shared this goal with over
80 schools and affected 200,000 students, faculty, parents, and administrators. We want to support
our current educational system so that it helps our children and prepares them for the 21st century
workplace.

The 2010 release of several high profile films on education heralded the beginning of a national
dialogue about the kinds of parenting skills and educational environments that encourage and
support the development of the whole child. At Challenge Success, the question is not whether
students are stressed out and unengaged; the question is how to successfully address those
issues. We are encouraged by the desire to move forward and are cultivating new ways to meet the
ever-increasing demand for our services. An online parent education course is in development,
as is an East Coast conference that replicates the one we host at Stanford. Finding solutions to the
problems we face will not be easy, but we firmly believe that our school and parent education
programs will help us make significant progress toward our goals.

Tremendous support from donors, advisors, staff and volunteers allows us to continue our work. We
value your many contributions – we know our success depends upon your help. We thank you
for financial reinforcement and for your insights, and we sincerely hope that you will persist in
challenging our ideas and push us to do our best on behalf of the youth that we serve."
