NEW VIRTUAL PRESENTATIONS

Due to Covid-19, the BiggerThanThat! Youth Empowerment program is pleased to be able to offer our presentations in a virtual format! Previously, we would rely heavily on delivering our message through live touring, however, we did not want the message to stop especially when it is now needed more than ever. 


We are experiencing a higher than normal amount of requests and are working to fit in as many presentations as we can! Please contact our Event Coordinator for more information about our new virtual presentations.
