Hello, my name is Kirk Farber, executive director and founder of Fitness And Character Education, Inc. a non-profit youth leadership organization. In 1997, I participated with an intervention program for juveniles in the Duval County jail, and saw how they had to accept the consequences for their actions. I wanted to make a difference – yet catch them earlier than later. Share character values with a focus on respect & leadership while teaching cool techniques and movements to our ‘next generation’. The seed was planted!FACE motivates elementary youth to build fitness, self-esteem, and character before it’s too late. FACE4kids benefits from strategic partnerships that allow the 8-week program to be offered FREE during the school day throughout the year, where principals and teachers recognize the positive impact in the lives of their students. Often these students come from communities that suffer from extreme poverty, high crime rates, high unemployment and fractured homes. This unique program combines Martial arts, jump rope, juggling, agility training and public speaking. Fitness is Essential, yet Character Education is priceless!FACE4Kids has been implemented in over 50 different public-school locations throughout NE Florida since 2004 while expanding to Phoenixville, Pennsylvania in 2012. We hold the schools accountable with pre/post survey data metrics in 5 categories: Fitness, Confidence, School Effort, Social Skills, and Behavior Choices. The proof is in the data! - www.FACE4Kids.org

Through the study of ancient Martial Arts, The Working Warrior, Inc. has developed a powerful new system of teaching and educating strategies and techniques for children, organizational or individual improvement.
