1% for Student Success

NEXT STEP TO SUCCESS ("NSTS") is a youth outreach program that offers teens a wide range of activities that will inspire them and propel them to become more confident and capable versions of themselves. Through their highly intentional youth development program, teens will learn the keys to success (including the "Success Sequence"). 

Here at Have Fun we support NSTS: we believe in spreading positivity not just through our merchandise but also by giving back to our community.
