"The students involved, ninth graders and senior student leaders, have come away from the daylong retreat with a vital understanding of each other’s needs, a commitment to care about and respect one another and an enhanced belief in their own responsibility for one another in our large school. The real value is the residual effect – the improved climate of respect among the students who reside within our school."
Polly Reikowski, Principal - Eagan High School

Brian Tracy

Every year hundreds of schools witness the effect the Youth Frontiers programs have on their students and colleagues. We want to hear from you about the positive changes you've experienced in your school. Put it in writing using these basic guidelines:

  • Please describe as best you can how the retreat benefited your students and your school. If you observed any lasting effects as a result of the retreat, please describe them.
  • Be sure to mention the type of retreat you had (Kindness Retreat, Courage Retreat, Respect Retreat, Wisdom Retreat).
  • Please avoid mentioning specific staff names, but feel free to talk about "Youth Frontiers Staff" and their approach to working with your students.
  • Please write your letter of recommendation on school letterhead and send two copies.
  • It's best if you can mail your letter without folding it. We have received wonderful recommendation letters we could not pass on to other educators because the toner faded in the letterfold and obstructed a sentence.
  • Don't forget your signature!

 

Address your recommendation letter and mail to:
