GOLDEN GATE COMMUNITY
Connecting Communities One Smile at a Time.
ALL YOU NEED
The Golden Gate Kids program instructs students in the various attitudes, perspectives, soft skills, and pro-social behaviors needed to function effectively in school and in their personal interactions. Each Pledge Unit employs a hands-on, inclusive, pro-social approach to the problems students face today. As students implement the Golden Gate Pledge to Self, Classmates, Family, and Community, they WILL cultivate healthy connections and happy brains. When brains are happy, learning goes deeper!

When we created The Golden Gate Movement, we knew that one size wouldn’t fit all. For this reason, we chose to create Golden Gate Community: a simple implementation that will bring SMILES to your home or charter school.

ABOUT OUR CURRICULUM
Straight from the Source
The Golden Gate curriculum is created exclusively by teachers and administrators who are passionate about improving the lives of their own students and yours. Every lesson plan, activity, and pledge point is thoughtfully designed to address common concerns, provide actionable solutions, and resonate with every young learner from kindergarten to 6th grade.
Research-Based
Our curriculum is based heavily on our own research and the research of others regarding behavioral health conditions in modern society. Currently, The Golden Gate Movement is actively working to conduct district-wide research to assess the greatest concerns and needs students have in the classroom. With the invaluable information contrived from our studies, we can improve upon and create new curriculum designed to help students live a happier, healthier life filled with purpose and self worth.
All Inclusive
When you join the Golden Gate Movement and purchase the Golden Package for your school, you’re granted immediate access to our exclusive Member Resource Library. We’ve packed our library with everything you need to make a real difference for your students, including monthly lesson plans, activities, discussion prompts, parent newsletters, and teaching sequences that are in alignment with each Pledge Point.

MEET OUR COMMUNITY DIRECTOR
My name is Kasey Chambers.
I am the Golden Gate Community Director, and I am so privileged to work with an amazing team to bring Golden Gate beyond our school doors and into the community. I am married and have one son and another on the way. I am a 5th Grade teacher in Utah, and I absolutely love my job. I began my journey with the Golden Gate Movement by supporting and learning from our Golden Gate Kids Director, Michelle Thorn. I worked with amazing Elementary educators to support them in creating curriculum for our Kindergarten through 6th grade students. I soon realized that I had a passion for spreading our message into the community. We piloted the Golden Gate Stories podcast to spread the message of kindness to people outside of school communities. And that is where Golden Gate Community came to be. I became increasingly more passionate about helping adults and families in the community espouse the Golden Gate pledges to help our youth during their most vulnerable times. I can’t wait to see how this community will grow!
Our Mission is Kindness
Our goal at Golden Gate Community is to have all members of the community join in the common goal and commitment to uplifting and strengthening our youth by giving them strength, kindness, and safety in all of their interactions. Our vision is to provide tools to families and community members to make our goals a reality. We are research based and driven by a passion for helping the youth feel confident, loved, and ready to take on the world with the support of their family and community behind them. We feel that the incredible things happening in our schools can happen and be supported beyond school doors. As a team, families, educators, and community members can combat the challenges youth face today by modeling kindness and creating safe environments and relationships. We strive daily to help our youth in every aspect of their lives.
