With gratitude to the Youth of Gotta Dance
When communities come together to empower youth, incredible things happen. We are so grateful for our collaboration with Gotta Dance, where young athletes and dancers journeyed through the five pillars together: Mental Health, Giving Back, Earth Service, Physical Health, and Financial Health.
It was more than a workshop. It was an adventure in self-discovery, confidence, leadership, and kindness. Our athletes reflected on their strengths, practiced positive self-talk, and discovered new ways to support themselves and each other.
The affirmations said it best: “I Am Strong. I Am Brave. I Am Enough. I Am Worthy. I Am Kind.”
And the “I AM” mural they created together became a vibrant picture of who they are: strong, creative, joyful, resilient, healthy, confident, unique, and resourceful.
Thank you, Gotta Dance, for welcoming Be Kind 5 into your community and creating a space where young people can grow, connect, and thrive. And thank you to our incredible Be Kind 5 Coaches and Youth Guide for sharing your expertise, encouragement, and lived experiences.
Together, we are building a future where kindness, leadership, wellness, and service are at the heart of every athlete’s journey.
With gratitude,
The Be Kind 5 Team
Play Hard. Lead Kind. Inspire Others
