“No matter what situation you are in, it is important to keep your head up, be confident and clear in your tone and messages, and know how to shake a hand respectfully. A lot of these kids have never been taught these things.”
Coach Joe Sicilio
E.A.R.N. THE RIGHT IS MAKING HEADLINES
OUR VALUES
E.A.R.N. the Right believes that if a person can begin to cultivate Empathy, Attitude, Respect and Knowledge as a part of their daily lives, they have the basic tools to strive in a professional setting as well as their relationship with others.
EMPATHY
We work with our students to help them cultivate empathy for others so that they can relate better with the people they meet both personally and professionally.
ATTITUDE
Attitude is everything. There is the saying “Your attitude determines your altitude. People with a great out look on life tend to have a higher rate of success in the shortest amount of time. We work with the students to help them navigate through life circumstances and life by giving them exercises to help start the day with a good attitude and pivot in difficult circumstances.
RESPECT
R-E-S-P-E-C-T everyone wants it, but not everyone gives it. We want our students to understand that respect is earned. We work with our students to help them earn the respect of those they work with, care for and engage with on a daily basis.
KNOWLEDGE
We believe that knowledge is a key tool for navigating through life. You can only get knowledge by continually studying and learning, reading, listening and doing. We encourage our students to never stop learning, to actively listen and look for golden nuggets for success.
NOW: IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
WHEN WILL YOU GIVE YOURSELF THE POWER TO CHANGE?
WHEN WILL YOU GAIN THE KNOWLEDGE TO SUCCEED?
