WhyTry delivers programs, tools, and training to help you change students from unmotivated to engaged, failing to graduates, and from hopeless to resilient. The approach helps students answer the question… “Why Try? Why should I put effort into life, school, or work?” in a way that engages and motivates ALL students.

Core of the WhyTry Approach:

• Relationships​
  • ​Research shows that students who have a positive relationship with educators are more motivated to listen, engage, and show pro-social behaviors in the classroom.
• Relevance
  • ​If a student can’t see how the choices they are making today are having an impact on their future, they will struggle to answer the questions “why try,”… “why should I put effort into school, into work and into the important things in life?”
• Resilience
  • ​​We can’t always control the challenges that we face. We can, however, impact their ability to thrive amidst those challenges.
