Rocket21 (the new social network where kids explore amazing possibilities for their lives and futures) is partnering with WY5 (a social networking platform that helps students connect with mentors and resources) to give tweens and teens the tools that will help them follow their dreams and achieve their goals.
WY5 (Who are Your Five?) was developed by Pivot Learning Partners to empower students in taking charge of their education by building a team of adult mentors who will help them find a dream and make it real.
“Rocket21 members are already connecting daily with hundreds of R21 PROs who do the amazing things kids dream of,” said Jodell Seagrave, President and COO. “Our mission of helping these students discover how to reach wherever they want to go in life makes Rocket21 a natural platform to further WY5′s goal of promoting the networking and planning skills required for success.”
“We believe Rocket21 will be an invaluable resource for developing WY5,” added Anya Hurwitz, Pivot Learning Partner’s Project Director for WY5. “We can reach R21 members who are already discovering how to best utilize mentors and the insights they can provide. Such access will enhance WY5′s development as we work with schools and organizations in providing students with the skills for effective collaboration.”
Some WY5 team members will also be Rocket21 PROs – joining experts from countless fields who have been invited to interact with kids. These include explorers, artists, ecologists, business executives, entertainers, scientists, activists, engineers, nurses, doctors, educators, and much more – people who do some of the amazing things kids dream of doing.
