StrengthBuilding Partners (SBP) is a non-profit training and coaching organization that works with children, families, school and businesses. We teach people about the powerful tool of StrengthBuilding and how to use it in their lives. This cutting edge, innovative, research-based & proven StrengthBuilding curriculum is unlike other curricula. The StrengthBuilding® curriculum and teaching tools are customized for each group of participants based on their needs and their continuous evaluation.
Founded in 1999, SBP’s initial focus has been on working in disadvantaged school communities. The school programs have demonstrated remarkable improvements in children’s attendance and behavior and in the retention and satisfaction of teachers.
Pam Clark-Raines developed StrengthBuilding ten years ago as a way to incorporate current and emerging social sciences research into practical application with children and families. SBP provides professional development in StrengthBuilding, utilizing the StrengthBuilding philosophy and process as a catalyst to change the individual, their interactions with others and to create systemic changes in schools and communities.
Our Vision
We see a StrengthBuilding world where children and families live and grow knowing their strengths and their power and using them to impact the world in positive ways. We envision a world where children grow up with structure and accountability, infused with acceptance and nurturance, a world that honors and respects each and every person just because of who they are.
