Our Programs

High Energy. Literacy-Based. Major League Impact.

Interactive Book Readings

High-energy and built for kids, these 45–60 minute sessions use Channing Chasten's book, The 1% Kid, as a launching pad for real conversations about perseverance, confidence, and growth. Kids don't just hear the story — they engage with it, connect it to their own lives, and leave with tools they can use every day.

During each session, youth can expect to:

  • Dive into discussions about perseverance, confidence, discipline, and overcoming challenges

  • Reflect on their own goals, dreams, and daily habits

  • Take part in mindset and goal-setting exercises

  • Hear directly from Channing about his journey from big dreams to becoming a collegiate and professional soccer player, author, and speaker

  • Walk away with a belief that getting 1% better every day is something they can actually do

Book Donations

The 1% Kid Foundation donates copies of The 1% Kid and other age-appropriate books to youth and families with limited access to books at home. The goal goes beyond putting books in hands, helping kids feel seen and inspired through stories that build confidence, perseverance, and a genuine love of reading.

Mindset Workshops

The 1% Kid Foundation's mindset workshops are interactive experiences that help youth build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills. Through discussions, reflection activities, and goal-setting exercises drawn from Channing Chasten's real-life journey as a collegiate and professional athlete, author, and speaker, participants walk away with practical tools and habits they can apply long after the workshop ends.

Lit and Plays

Our “Lit & Play” camps combine soccer, literacy, and mindset development into a fun, well-rounded experience for youth. Kids grow on and off the field through soccer training, reading sessions, goal-setting exercises, and confidence-building discussions — all designed to build discipline, teamwork, and a love of learning that sticks long after camp ends.
