The ability to understand where their emotions stem from will enable children to better cope with negative feelings and give them the tools necessary to overcome life's challenges.  

Gaining a deeper comprehension of one's own emotions can also enhance the understanding of those of others, resulting in a heightened sense of empathy and increased ability to provide assistance during times of hardship.

Establishing connections is a crucial element for their overall well-being. The Change the World App promotes and cultivates more profound connections with others, which can uplift self-esteem and improve emotional state.

To capture the attention of children aged 10-13, we implement gamification strategies such as daily tasks and streaks, storytelling elements, and goal-oriented challenges.

To keep the children motivated, we mix a blend of in game achievements like badges and trophies along with real world rewards like prizes and vouchers.

Our goal is to create a valuable and entertaining experience with the Change the World App. To accomplish this, we integrate features like swipeable comics and informative videos that are both engaging and fun.

Support S.A.C.K.'s Change the World App: The Kindness Games—a fun and impactful fundraising platform that teaches kids kindness and empathy while being a proactive mission to prevent school shootings and bullying. Accessible on all devices, including Chromebooks, this app transforms fundraising by gamifying kindness. Children participate in daily, engaging challenges that promote empathy, emotional awareness, and compassion, making fundraising meaningful and fun. Just like a jog-a-thon, kids collect pledges and complete kindness challenges to raise funds for their school or team, winning amazing prizes along the way.

Perfect for schools, sports teams, and youth organizations, The Kindness Games brings bigger rewards and a purpose-driven mission that resonates with kids and communities alike. Our pilot with 4th to 6th graders was a huge success, with children enjoying the challenges and parents and teachers praising the program’s positive impact on attitudes and behavior. Every dollar raised goes towards spreading this mission of proactive anti-bullying education and kindness in schools. Join us in making a difference—Get involved with Change the World App: The Kindness Games and help us build a kinder, safer world, one fun challenge at a time.

The Four Keys are the ingrained desires we all have that lead to happiness & fulfillment. 

By understanding this concept, we can decipher the origins of emotions and be proactive in maintaining a healthy mental state. 

Not believing that tomorrow can be a better day will make life distressing. To combat this, we provide inspiring stories and exercises to enhance their sense of hope.

Feeling unsafe and insecure can result in negative consequences. We utilize effective strategies to alleviate stress and offer resources that empower them to improve their situations.

A child's emotional well-being can be severely impacted by a negative perception of self-value. The Change the World App is designed to enhance their self-esteem and confidence.

Having a sense of disconnection from people and the world can have negative consequences. We promote the importance of forging connections with others and help them feel like a valued piece of a puzzle.

CHANGE THE WORLD is focused on finding "rays of light", the children who not only want to improve the FOUR KEYS in their own lives, but that of others. Studies have shown that one positive influence can change the trajectory of someone's life. One more friend, one more moment, one more chance. This is how we can change the future for our children, by empowering them to BE THE CHANGE.

Established in 1999 by Don and Shirley Zink

Don and I were both teachers when we married. We were blessed with two children, Steve and Tami. Steve was a gifted child but by the 5th and 6th grade he was experiencing a lot of bullying in school, but he never told us about it. He just kept it to himself.

We knew his self-esteem was not very high and we tried everything we could think of to help, including counseling, but by the time he was in high school, his attitude and behavior were a big concern to us. They did not expect him to graduate. Unfortunately his depression was not identified.

It wasn't long until he got into a very unhealthy love relationship which caused him great frustration, grief and sadness.

On his 19th birthday, he lost his final battle when he took his own life.

We don't want this to happen to any more families. Bullying started Steve on this downward journey until the depression took over.

The pain of this terrible loss led us to establish the SACK Foundation with a desire to help children live, laugh and love in a bully-free environment.

Every child has that right.
