Thriving Students

We want to show how your child can grow if they get the chance they’ve always wanted. Our programs offer a different way for students to engage with their school and community. We combine students’ passion with real world skills. From fostering teamwork in their game of choice or gaining career experience racing a drone, your student will find new ways to express themselves and grow. 

Start a Program

If you’re interested in having your school join the pack, we’ll be there to support you every step of the way. Our team will provide you with the necessary tools and resources to present the benefits of our programs to the school board. Together, we can showcase how Fenworks creates a community and student experience like no other. 

Hear from other parents

We interviewed parents and students about the growth they saw in each other during the Fenworks program. From finding a place at school to building confidence, there’s a lot to be gained from joining a team.

Testimonials

Hear from other parents and educators that have seen the impacts of Fenworks at their schools! 

Dennis Abernathy – Principal

"The amount of money to provide esports through Fenworks is miniscule compared to some of the programs schools already run... Why wouldn’t we want to provide that to another group, especially for the low cost?"

Kain Schow – General Manager

"Fenworks gave an opportunity to those kids who don’t always want to be in football, basketball, baseball—the sports that most high schools have. It’s something different for them."

"I know many of the people that work with Fenworks, and I have faith in the individuals who lead Fenworks. I know the type of people they are and how ethical they are. They are running a program that’s not just about video games. That’s the vehicle through which they’re trying to provide an opportunity for students to learn teamwork, collaboration skills, and responsibility."

Bradley Parrish – Parent

"I really noticed it was a way for my kids to show their school spirit and school pride in a way that was along with or instead of traditional sports."

Dr. Jill Louters – Principal

"Research suggests that in the next five years, 60% of jobs in the world will require tech skills. So where do you get those skills? Some of that comes through esports, which entails not just the analysis, the cognitive thinking, and technical skill, but also the networking and teamwork that occurs online. These are essential skills!"

"We don't have to understand how esports works and how video games work to know that this is important to them and they're practicing leadership and communication."

Christi Stoll – Fundraising Director

"It's not just about playing video games; it's about learning new things, learning about technology, and all of the other things that go along with technology."
