No Barriers Climb Program

Grade Levels: 3rd- 9th

My wife Ellen and I started our careers in education, and it remains an important cause for us. With that spirit, we have developed the No Barriers Climb Program, a complete toolbox to help students build the framework for their own No Barriers Lives. The objective of this program is to empower students to overcome barriers and ultimately share that light with others. This program is designed for your convenience; you can squeeze all of the phases into one day, take several days to space out the time commitment, or spread the program out over several weeks for maximum depth.

Specifically, this guided program will lead your class through seven Elements: Vision, Reach, Pioneer, Alchemy, Rope Team, Summits, and Elevate. These are guideposts we confront and harness along the way, forging a complex and overwhelming journey into a step-by-step learning process and a common language to reinforce and mark progress. Each “Camp” on your way up the mountain will focus on one of the Elements, with the following format:

Watch a video from my Educational Series
Read a short excerpt from one of my books, and review with the guided questions
Perform an Element-related activity

At the Summit, your students will take their own No Barriers Pledges and participate in a Skype with me. Additional videos of people who inspire me can be found on our Educational Resources page.

We look forward to helping you and your students Reach together.

Keep Climbing!

“When I used the Climb Program in my classroom, I saw things I have never seen before. We had a lot of students with severe anxieties and fears about the ladder, but EVERY student went across. I saw a lot of scared faces and a few tears, but when they cried it was like they reached the summit of Mt. Everest. One girl said when she got across the ladder, “I feel like I can tackle the world!” Your team is working miracles with this program. We have so many students that really needed this.”

“Two thumbs way up for the No Barriers program! Along with getting us a 360º picture of Erik’s compelling story and message, relevant and ample educational opportunities were provided. As my students reflected on the Skype session with Erik, they recognized that he truly exemplified the “No Barriers” mindset: an ordinary person who has overcome extraordinary odds. Erik’s program truly brought hope to our students, inspiring them to reach higher every day.”

“The Climb Program was a tremendous success at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Nassau County. The beauty of this program is that regardless of each participant’s unique obstacles, each member was equipped with resources designed to meet their specific needs. Adversity is an aspect of life that is inevitable and universal, yet we are all affected in deeply personal ways. Through engaging activities and introspective group discussions, the participants developed lasting relationships and created fond memories that will endure through all present and future challenges.”
