GPK - Unlocking Youth Passion

Grit Pile Kidz

Unlocking Youth Passion and Potential Through Grit

Mission:

Inspire kids to discover their passion and build belief in themselves through hard work, determination and, importantly, the resilience to reach their dreams. In addition, encourage parents to show enthusiasm for their children’s passion and support them throughout the journey.

The problem

Today’s society, including parents, peers and social media, pressures young people to pursue one path which they believe will make them successful - especially in sports. This often leads to burnout, low self-esteem, and disappointment due to a lack of inner passion from the individual.

The solution

Help kids unlock their inner passion and through inspiring stories of grit, determination and resilience, to help them reach their full potential.

Grit Gives Back

With each Grit Pile Kidz purchase, a portion will help support various community programs* and enable kids to unlock their inner passion and build conﬁdence.
