“Working with the kids in the Stand Up & Learn Program has been one of the most rewarding endeavors in which I have ever taken part.
It is so rewarding to watch the kids participate in a three-day workshop or an ongoing class for the first time. Many come to the classes nervous, hesitant, or even self-conscious and not knowing what they are going to talk about. Then, to see them performing their standup material in front of parents, siblings and friends—it’s truly amazing.
I only wish that as a kid I had access to a program like Stand Up & Learn. I would have loved to have made the nuns at the Catholic School I attended laugh—if that was even possible!
Stand Up & Learn is a really great way for kids to not only learn to express themselves and share their stories with others, but to build self-confidence and self-esteem, which is something we can all use in our lives, at any age.”
