Made for Educators, by Educators
When Co- Founders Kendra and Bryn met, they each had reasons for bringing Kikori to life. Bryn Lottig, MEPD is an expert on blending outdoor pursuits with leadership development. Kendra Bostick, LCSW was a School Social Worker whose job was to support students to be self-reliant, compassionate and productive. They knew the power of experiential education but saw that teachers didn't have the time, resources and knowledge to make it happen.

Experiential SEL (eSEL) in Motion
We teamed up with The Suffolk Public Schools College & Career Academy at Pruden to showcase student talent. This event highlighted the benefits of combining experiential learning with 21st Century Workplace Readiness Skills and Social Emotional Learning.
Tuftonboro Central School, Wentworth NH
"KIKORI has helped me put in place a school-wide program in a few weeks that would definitely have been at least a year long process to put in place. It would have taken us so much longer to meet our school-wide goal of revitalizing our school culture...rolling out school-wide expectations and tools to make it happen in the classroom. I would have had to do everything but with Kikori, I'm not developing...I"m supporting teachers to put the program in place...right off the bat...day 1 of school and we're already doing it!"
- Matt Tetrault, School Social Worker
