Our PILOT CHAPTERS.

ONE BECAME 4.

It all began in East Jordan, Michigan 18 years ago with a simple concept. When kids feel valuable they act valuable. They make valuable choices…to participate, to embrace hope, and to allow themselves to dream. They begin to understand that if they are valuable then others are too.

INTRODUCING BOYNE CITY, WHITEHALL, JOBuRG-LEWISTON AND EAST JORDAN CHAPTERS.

We had amazing, proven, capable and motivated educators reach out to us wanting to bring the Shoe Club to their schools. After the applications and interview process we knew these leaders would succeed in the mission.
