For the past 18 months Healthy Heroes has been piloting the Shakti Warriors program within some of the Boys and Girls clubs of Chicago. We have over 300+ kids actively on the site.
Our Shakti Warrior program can help you obtain your Core Areas goals! Shakti Warriors aligns with BGCC core values:
Power Hour:
--Kids get SW points for completing their homework on time.
Smart Girls:
--Our lead, Shakti, promotes feminine strength and power.
Smart Moves:
--Our Warrior in Action game board provides kids with challenging real world scenarios.
Torch:
--Kids get extra credit points for taking on projects in their community.
Cooking Club:
--We even have a Shakti Warrior cook book — designed specifically to teach kids how to prepare healthy snacks.
“This is better than video games!”
Overheard between an 8 & 9 year old while playing on the SW website
“One of my children has been transformed for the better. I am not sure what you are doing but keep it up.”
Mother of a 9 year old girl at Boys and Girls club using the SW program.
“At 4:00 on Wednesday afternoon, the day we do Shakti, there is a line of 15-20 kids waiting to get into the computer lab. This never happens.”
