INSPIRE SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Schools with INSPIRE mentoring programs: Cedar Hill ISD, Duncanville ISD, Dallas ISD, Red Oak ISD, Waxahachie ISD

In the last 10 years, nearly 30,000 students have completed the INSPIRE classroom mentoring program in the Southern Dallas area and over 25,000 have attended assemblies. Student evaluations show 86% of students see an increase in self confidence which leads to better decision-making and 93% make better relationship choices. Nearly 70% of students have used at least one of the positive coping techniques learned in class for dealing with anger or anxiety.
