Because kids have what it takes

The mindset kids need to thrive is in front of them, they just need to see it in action. While athlete mentors are training, competing, recovering and persevering they are simultaneously speaking to students about their process and what it takes to succeed.

Athletes know kids have what it takes

As a mentor through Classroom Champions, Paralympic Medalist and Mentor Lex Gillette made a special impact on a small town in Indiana. That impact went all the way up to the Mayor's office - where he declared it Lex Gillette Day in Seymour, IN!

What teachers are saying...

Classroom Champions has changed the culture of my classroom. My students are bonded through the mentorship this program provides. Classroom Champions gives my students the hope and belief that they can achieve success and be a part of something bigger than they imagined.
