Join Us & Make A True Difference In Your Community!
Feel good knowing you're having a real impact
We are a collective of individuals, families, helping professionals/mental health professionals, teachers, community advocates, change agents & philanthropists that are on a mission!
While essential life skills are something that we all need, sadly not enough of us are brought up in homes or communities where we learn these. Having worked with the homeless for many years, I could see that so many people's lives would be very different had they had the chance to develop their essential life skills sooner.
Together, we can change that! We are accomplishing this through our selected Community Ambassadors who are bringing our original skill-building games into the communities they serve!
Here's Why You Will Love Joining Us!
Shores of Success
After using these games & getting great results with her grandson, Amelie is now bringing our games into her community!
"I really like this game and have been using it with my grandson Mickel. We figure out what reward he wants and keep a notebook, so he can see his progress. He loves feeling like he can earn the things he wants, rather than waiting on the adults to simply give him things. He really loves being helpful, and you can see it boosts his self-esteem when he helps others out. I love seeing him thinking of others and thinking about the consequences of his choices, actually thinking things through, knowing that he's building his critical thinking skills for the future. And I love that there are extra tools that help when anyone gets stuck, like the ones that help build understanding and strengthen communication. I'm looking forward to bringing this game with me to his school when I start teaching there next month, I want to see how we can include it there." ~ Amelie Hamilton

"This was the most fun my client’s had in a session! She & her Mom were really engaged. We made a chart she can use during the week to go along with the activities the game provided for her. The game gave a tangible method for addressing behavior ~ and all goals are measurable! I just love that and I’m excited to be using it in my practice!”
~ Grace Olivieri, LGSW

Be loved for your contribution!
When I was developing and teaching coping skills classes to children in Baltimore (from which I created The Coping Skills Kit game), I've blessed to feel like a beloved teacher and receive comments like, "I'll miss you, I'll never forget you!" ~ and you can feel like this too!

Make a real difference!
Wouldn't you love to have children who look forward to coming to your classes? When we used some activities in The Coping Skills Kit, it was astonishing to see kids who were normally hyped up, transform into a calm and peaceful state of mind! These games give you tools that lead to real transformation.

Meet our founder, Dianne
Welcome to The Skill Builders Society, we're glad that you're here!
My name is Dianne Fanti and I've spent most of my life helping others to transform their lives by building their essential life skills in community settings.
For many years I worked with the homeless, where it became apparent that so much of their suffering and difficulties could have been prevented had they learned essential life skills earlier. So I became passionate about wanting to help prevent that kind of tragedy, rather than just remedying it once it's occurred.
Thank you for being here today, and I hope you'll join us in this vital mission of reaching as many people as we can with these transformative games!
Reach out and let us know how you would like to be involved and to help!
