I have recently become involved with the pay it forward project.
my 8 year old daughter and i are both wearing the wrist bands and are competing to see who can pay more forward. this will be a lesson she will use over and over through life and only make her richer. This is one of the BEST programs i have ever seen. THANK YOU!!

no offense to the Entrepreneurial World...but every business organization can benefit from Pay It Forward as well....it sets the stage for people having compassion for one another and to start this at the school level actually makes for better office relations for the future. Think about it.

The Pay It Forward Concept continually amazes me!!! Here's an example...a student leaves PIF bands in every football team member's locker...then reports the next day..that many people are seen wearing the bracelet!!
Another example: Teachers who have the day off waiting for Tropical Storm Fay to leave Florida are busy emailing each other and formulating ideas for Pay It Forward Clubs and activities on their campuses!
The PIF movement "makes a positive impact on the world"....it can't be said any simpler than that!!!

This is always a great idea, with a hitch. The current
educational system (State Ran) is a Bicameral mentality.
The public school process should teach Entrepreneurial
courses such as The new age for the 21st century
called The Nouveau Tech.

 Paying it Forward gives everyone a warm feeling inside...it crosses all boundaries and disabilities because there's not one person on this earth who cannot PAY IT FORWARD!! And what may seem like a small act of kindness ends up being a very BIG DEAL!!! ANd that carries over to many, many people!!!! The world will be a much nicer and safer place if Pay It Forward became the winner of the American Express Members Project!!!

Giving back to the community is becoming an even stronger thought in the world of High School Athletics!!! The Pay It Forward Concept attaches itself to this widespread phenomenon very nicely!!!! In fact, colleges are now asking to get on board with the Pay it Forward movement, so my graduated students are telling me!!! YAY!!!!

I used this concept to significantly reduce bullying in a tough group of 6th grade children last year - it really works - and we all had fun making a difference in our school and the community - rock on!

This is wonderful. More of us should take responsibility for the children we are raising and promote more positive activities and attitudes. We have also created a Pay it Forward group at my daughter's high school and want to get the kids involved with things greater than their own self interest. Although new technology is a wonderful achievement, many kids today are isolated sitting in front of their computers and or text messaging for many hours a day instead of going outside and connecting with people in person. Teaching our kids to network and give back to the community is a great thing. Personally I think we owe it to our children to teach them this mindset because we truly are all connected.

My high school students in South Florida continue to Pay It Forward on a regular basis! They are very alert to looking for ways to do a Random Act of Kindness!! The Pay It Forward Foundation is quite supportive in our efforts!!! They send Pay It Forward bands not only to my class but to many, many other classrooms and organizations across the United Sates and all over the World!!! This organization truly is making a big impact on the youth of today!!

The Pay it Forward Concept is phenomenal! It gives even the weakest student the chance to make a huge difference in the world!! Just by showing a small act of kindness to someone impacts the world tremendously!!!! I am a firm believer in that small white Pay it Forward band that can change the world. I have sent some to Marines in Iraq and to former students who play on college Football teams....the impact is enormous!!!
