Encouragement is unique in that it generates its own power. Creating energy and a sense of power, encouragement grows confidence and plants the seeds of self-esteem in children. When children flourish in the knowledge of their own achievements and potential, they develop the emotional tools and social skills that allow them to lead healthy, powerful and motivated lives. Wender Weis Foundation for Children (WWFC) is committed to encouraging at-risk, disadvantaged children throughout the San Francisco Bay and Chicagoland Areas.
