It was not easy to cross the hot chocolate river with marshmallows, but using teamwork and communication we made it happen.

Project Effort
Project Effort is centered around it's elementary and middle school sports clubs. In addition, "veteran" high school participants become members of the Youth Leader Corps. We use physical activity as a basis to teach the goals of Don Hellison's Personal and Social Responsibility Model. We also emphasize transferring these goals to contexts "Outside the gym," such as school, home, and other community settings. To help accomplish this, we also have a mentoring program. Graduate and undergraduate students work one-on-one with club members on goal setting at the schools. All mentors receive special training. Project Effort also includes teacher and parent involvement. Workshops are offered to not only help the participating teachers become aware of the program and their students' experiences. They also become more involved in the mentoring process themselves. Parent Nights are used to help inform families about the program and its goals. Summer internships are also provided to help broaden the Youth Leader Corps vision of possible futures.
