An extension of the Varsity Brands Believe in You Video Series and Speaking Tour, the Believe in You Social and Emotional Empowerment Program now offers a student empowerment program rooted in SEL competencies for grades 3-12. The program includes free research-based SEL resources as well as Student Empowerment Journals to help students process emotions and dislocation entering this school year.

The first 10 weeks of content for the interactive student journals are available for preview now!

Believe in You® is an episodic series designed to educate students and staff about the incredible power of believing in yourself, despite the challenges and trials that life may present. Hosted by Kevin Atlas,and starring personalities from around the country who have overcome personal challenges to accomplish the  extraordinary.

Videos can be viewed in class as a group, or on any mobile device. Each of the 9 episodes per season lasts for eight to eleven minutes, and is accompanied by lesson plans and activity guides to take the conversation further and spark critical thinking.

Our mission is for every student in America to have someone who believes in them. We’re hitting the road with Kevin to speak to nearly 300 schools about how to accomplish that, but we can’t be everywhere! That’s why we’ve created the Believe In You Challenge. The Challenge is for students to attend a school activity they never have before. Swim meets. Track meets. Plays. Choir concerts. Pick it, grab your friends, and go. Show each other that support! Share your acceptance of this Challenge using hashtag #BelieveinYouChallenge.
