New 2021 Virtual Tour Theme:
"Rainbow Beyond the Storm"!

You Matter Global Movement (YMGM) is pleased to unveil our 2021 tour theme. The storm is what we as educators are facing right now with current global affairs. Students are craving a promising tomorrow with hopes and dreams ready for them to fulfill. They need the boost, encouragement, and zeal to back them up as they turn to their campuses for solace and understanding. So we’re bringing the rainbow. Despite all of the things we’ve been through, we will come together. The layers of our rainbow are kindness, empathy, compassion, care, understanding, vulnerability, and academics. Through this tour, YMGM will bring the colors to light up your student body.

Let's kick-off your school year to make sure your students and staff bond together and overcome the adversities so they can be the best learners and educators possible. Contact us to learn more about this year's theme and our programs!

Your students will come out of this assembly program invigorated for a stronger, healthier and more engaged learning environment. YMGM (You Matter Global Movement) infuses your student body with the tenants of kindness, strength of character, mental wellness, and academic excellence. We do this through a variety of methods such as employing student engagement and relaying relatable accounts of life lived through our experienced speakers which in turn creates student recognition for their own struggles and challenges. Furthermore, we highlight goals that can be accomplished through positive campus culture. We do this through implementing long standing initiatives that stay with your campus until YMGM's next visit.

In today's society, your school is one of the only places that students will be able to work through many of their internal struggles to set them up for a healthy and successful life of achievement. YMGM will captivate them and build their self-esteem so that as they return to the classroom, they are better primed and open to the impeccable instruction of your educators. This is the YMGM legacy. This is your legacy.

This program will encourage the overall wellness for your student body in the following capacities:

Overcome the obstacles in their lives that affect their learning potential
Develop the courage to open their hearts to each other and those who seek their best interest
Develop the ambition to pursue their loftiest aspirations
Manage negative self-talk and create mental awareness around these internal struggles

Encouraging each student to do their part in making your campus a safe-haven for all

Staff Workshop:
INCREASING INCLUSION & MENTAL WELLNESS
FOR TEACHERS, LEADERS AND STUDENTS

Staff Development, Leadership, Teamwork, Life Skills

In this staff workshop, educators are invited on a journey of personal self-discovery wherein teachers delve deeply into remembering what their formative years were like and connecting that to the students that they currently impact today. Teachers are given activities whereby they collaborate with one another and discover similar challenges and brainstorm resolutions that open up the way for more fluid teacher to student engagement. Teachers leave this workshop with the necessary tools to foster an open-hearted campus culture. By these efforts, teachers immediately see the instantaneous shift in how their students connect with them and henceforth, how the educators can nurture the academic mindset of these precious minds.

Benefits of this workshop are as follows:

Greater teacher-student engagement
Positive communication amongst staff members
Solutions to select challenges on campus
Teacher-led initiatives to foster continued student academic and social-emotional development
Educators are heard, seen, and understood and know they are valued amongst their colleagues
