Board of Directors

Jeff Gendelman, President & Co-founder

Chan Lee, Vice President & Co-founder From a program evaluation:
Paul Callahan, Treasurer

Lori Gendelman, Secretary This particular group of students was

Eric Hobbs having a difficult time with showing

Spencer Coggs compassion for one another. There was a

Christine Lee lot of disrespect between peers and of

Maryfrances Palmisano, Executive Director adults throughout the building. We also
had a group of boys demonstrating

aggressive behaviors toward each other.

They were very reactive and

demonstrated very little self-control or

anger management strategies...The

bullies were charged with the challenge

of demonstrating empathy for others. The

other students were empowered with

confidence when they were allowed to

break a board. The highlight was the

students learning and demonstrating

respect for themselves, their peers, and

adults. This was particularly helpful when

Donate the students returned to the building and
continued to display the behavior. One

Volunteer student used, “Yes ma’am” and “No,
ma’am” for the remainder of the year.

Share Overall, the teachers/staff at
Emerson who work with the students on

a regular basis, agree it was beneficial

and helpful with the attitudes and

For more information: behaviors of the students. It is an
(414) 687-1060 extremely worthwhile program that I hope
to see expanded to other students
