Key ROX Program Outcomes: Increased confidence and resilience; staff professional development
Did You Know? 3 out of 4 ROX Programs that start with philanthropy become self-sustaining due to demonstrated impact and effectiveness.
"I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from ROX via Bread Financial to get ROX started at my school.
ROX has given me a new outlook on women and the strength we hold. ROX has inspired my students and helped me find a stronger voice in all aspects of my life. My first ROX group showed me what resilience truly looks like. Seeing my students grow in confidence and self-belief is proof of how powerful this program is."
