Our mission is to create much needed laughter and a safe space for all to play. Meanwhile we develop valuable life skills: creativity, critical thinking, public speaking, self confidence, self awareness, listening, focus and more. We use these same programs to teach corporate groups team building, leadership, sales and service skills. We bring SEL (Social Emotional Learning) to k12 schools through workshops, residencies and professional development for teachers.
