The author reflects on the history of the Circle of Courage model in creating resilient children in a world where virtually all young people can be considered to be at risk. The author stresses that those people in the Reclaiming Youth movement are in the business of humanizing youth work and childcare. They continue to call adults back to the most basic of human values: compassion for children, loving care for all youth, reliance on hope, and encouragement of strong young people. Their generation-long goal has been to tap the human spirit in creating strong human beings. The Circle of Courage uses the best in humankind to enable children to become who they are meant to be.
