Strength in Every Classroom: I Will Resilience Program for Teachers
In May 2025, the I Will Association, together with Leadership Choices (Germany), completed an inspiring Resilience and Leadership Coaching Program for teachers of I Will schools across Ukraine.
What began as a professional training evolved into a heartfelt journey of growth and connection. Over several weeks, educators found a safe space to reflect, recharge, and rediscover their inner strength. They learned how to stay grounded in uncertainty, manage emotional strain, and bring renewed calm and confidence to their students — even in the most challenging times.
The program created an incredible sense of community. Teachers shared personal stories, laughter, and tears, leaving each session with practical tools and a deep sense of support. Ukrainian coaches were fairly compensated for their contributions, while international trainers shared expertise — a model of collaboration, compassion, and sustainability.
As one teacher beautifully said, “These sessions reminded us that we can stay strong for our students, no matter what’s happening around us.”
The I Will Association continues to stand by educators who guide children through adversity — helping them find strength, hope, and purpose in every classroom.
