What People Say About Us

I want to thank Active Discovery, for supporting children in poverty at Denver Housing Authority (DHA)! They sent 1500 Active Discovery Kits for children in public housing that included a soccer ball, bilingual soccer activity videos, a kite, sidewalk chalk, a frisbee, a sling sack, and a bilingual Activity Book! They also gave five Discovery Club games and provided relevant training in a few of our neighborhoods! We are very appreciative of this incredible generosity!

On the day the Active Discovery Kits were given out, one family went home and started playing with the items in it and the Activity Book, and before long the mom walked back to school with a wagon and told us that everyone in the neighborhood wanted a box --would it be possible? Of course we sent her on her way with a wagon full of boxes.

Thank you for your wonderful gift of Active Discovery Kits with computer coding activities, active play toys, and bilingual Activity Books. Our resolve to help reduce the gaps in the education of children experiencing homelessness is stronger than ever and you reinforce that determination with your generosity of giving and kindness.

We are so impressed with the high level of rich content in each kit! The program is so well done and visually beautiful.

Wow the kids loved the Art & Agility kits. I wasn’t sure how the full range of ages would respond to the Pointillism education and projects, but 15 minutes into the first session - they were into it! Everyone was quietly working - it was almost magical seeing them escape into art and be so peaceful. Their finished pictures were amazing too! The agility grids were cool - we played sprinting Tic Tac Toe, and then did lots of different movement patterns - everyone was happy and super tired afterwards. Thank you for coming up with such great kits. The staff and the kids look forward to them.

Soccer is a HUGE deal at our Club. The soccer balls that came in the kits this summer were awesome and the kids loved them. Even though soccer is popular, many of the kids here don't own their own soccer ball so having one in their bag for them to keep was amazing. That will always be the first soccer ball they got to call their own and it came from you guys!

We want to give a special shout out to Active Discovery for partnering with us this year and bringing our youth these awesome Active Discovery Kits. We love the fact that we are able to reach our bilingual parents! Thank you!

The Adventure Club Game was a neat interactive activity which exposed our members to cities around the US while being engaged in physical movement as part of our healthy living initiative. The kids loved this program which allowed them to use technology and their phones with the QR codes as they reached certain destinations. We incorporated this activity into our weekly Triple Play program which encourages development of the mind, body and soul.

The Active Discovery kits are amazing! We have been enjoying the Go & Grow since our child brought it home. The kids and I are having fun the activity cards and conversation prompts! Active Discovery really thought of everything with these. My mom was visiting when we’re using the kit and she was blown away with the depth of rich content. She was an ESL instructor in the California valley so she especially loved the Spanish translations offered.

These kits can be used over and over again, encouraging regular activity. It was certainly eye opening for many children because it provided an opportunity and access to something new for them.

Thank you for all of your support this year! The bilingual Active Discovery Kits were a big hit. Students were overjoyed to use them and even more excited to take them home.
