Public-school commitmentClear by design

public schools.

Faith-based programs are coordinated separately from public-school events.

Dear public school administrator,

Wisconsin/Northern Michigan Youth Alive is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that empowers 6th–12th grade students to live the best life possible. We have been doing this through public school assemblies and community events for over two decades.

All of our school assemblies focus on positive life change through better choices and the undeniable worth of every student. We do not allow any faith-based content in our school assemblies for any reason.

Any faith-based programs we may do are coordinated separately from our public school events. Attendance for any faith-based event is voluntary, open to the public, and is not sponsored by public school districts.

Our track record has proven us to be a trustworthy partner for public school educators because we desire to work with you in the way that serves you best. References are available upon request.

Thank you for doing what you do.

Sincerely,
Dan Herod
Wisconsin/Northern Michigan Youth Alive Director
