Get In the Game
Is The Start Of A Movement

We are empowering the next generation to be critical thinkers, champions of differences, and real-world change-makers.

We utilize trained facilitators and build safe club environments where young people (aged 13 and over) can discover how to harness their courage and explore the power in understanding race and differences.

Through a playbook of social-justice discussion prompts, activities and community-impact projects, young people strengthen their ability to recognize and change real-world inequities – in life, their community, and society.
