GameChang3rs
GameChang3rs…Building Legacies is the creation of a highly talented team of veteran educators who knew Mike Sadler and the value his legacy could bring to today’s students as they begin to build their own legacies​.
With 200+ combined years of teaching experience to draw from, this team created a youth development program to give our students tools that will help them develop strong character, make good choices, and become socially and emotionally engaged to build impactful legacies
With Mike’s legacy as inspiration, his Six Pillar model is part of each literacy-based, interactive lesson which also meets Michigan core curriculum and Social & Emotional (SEL) Learning benchmarks.
2025-2026 AMBASSADORS
We are proud to announce the following students as Ambassadors of GameChang3rs…Building Legacies from Forest Hills Northern High School and GR Catholic Central High School, both in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
These outstanding high school Ambassadors have made a two-year commitment to mentor younger students who are beginning to build their OWN legacies. Ambassadors devote weekends and time after school to learn and practice delivering program lessons. They make up class work before leaving their school to mentor in lower-grade classrooms throughout the school year. We’re thrilled to have these outstanding leaders represent GameChang3rs…Building Legacies.
