Robyn: Happy to be with you, Spiffy! At Pretzel Kids, our mission is to offer yoga and mindfulness classes to children ages three to 16. When children start practicing yoga and mindfulness at a young age, they learn invaluable social and emotional skills that they can carry throughout their lives. They also learn to value their unique skills and feel comfortable in their bodies.
Kely: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! The personal challenge for me is always that there is so much need in the world that it is difficult to not be able to help everyone. Raising money is also always a challenge. The focus of our work is on two elements of the world of sports: “sports for development,” which is sports used as a tool to address the world's greatest needs and further the UN Social Development Goals (SDGs), and “sports diplomacy,” which means—as an individual, a brand, an organization, a culture, a nation—how do you use sport to tell your story? How does your involvement in sport tell us about what you believe? These are areas that are incredibly powerful in sustainable development and storytelling, but they also are areas that are still not commonly understood.
Jacklyn: Onward is on a mission to improve the lives of co-parents and create happier homes for the next generation. We help divorced and separated parents manage shared finances for their children more easily and reduce friction in communication.
