If you’re new, I want you to hear this first: you belong here.This community exists because kids deserve safety, connection, and hope — and because the adults who care about them deserve real tools, not just good intentions. A quick bit about me: I’m a husband, a dad, and the co-founder of Heroes In Waiting. After losing our son, Susan and I made a commitment that we wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. We built HIW to help schools, families, and youth leaders create a culture where kindness is strength, where labels don’t define kids, and where help is always available. Inside this community you’ll find practical resources — our free 12-lesson curriculum, ideas you can use immediately, and a place to learn from others who are doing the work. Now I’d love to meet you. Drop a comment below and introduce yourself to the HIW Crew. - Your name - Your role (student / parent / educator / coach / youth leader) - What brought you here — and what you’re hoping changes We’re grateful you’re here. Let’s build belonging together — one brave step at a time.
