OVERVIEW

why we are important

The Polite and Powerful Children's Foundation (PPCF) was established to address the behaviors that have become so disruptive in schools across America.

PPCF programs teach children manners to instill morals and values while inspiring them to be respectful of themselves and others. Through participation in PPCF workshops children learn the power in being polite.

The tools, techniques and essential life/social skills students learn will help them develop better communication skills, ethics, high self-esteem, strong character, the ability to resolve conflicts, and to have an appreciation for diversity.

The PPCF programs provide one-on-one, hands on training in small group settings to allow each student to experience and understand the importance of respectful communication and behavior.

YES,
PLEASE.

this is our vision

To foster a more polite and civilized society by assisting youth on their journey to living healthy, happy, well-rounded and productive lives.

The program consists of teaching six essential life and social skills. The workshops challenge students early on to develop a sense of comfort and confidence in themselves and their abilities.

To reinforce the skills taught in workshops, PPCF reaches out to the community-at-large by involving the families of students. Parents and/or guardians of each student are required to attend an overview session.
