Labeled “Yubbie” because he was different, as a kid Joe Wojcik was overweight. The name-calling was just a part of the bullying, and the pain he experienced had a very big impact on him throughout his youth, teens and into early adulthood.
Eventually Joe grew past his early experiences and founded The Yubbie Foundation to develop and present educational programs, seminars and presentations on preventing bullying and social violence and promoting wellness so individuals can lead productive and fulfilling lives. The Yubbie Foundation focuses on putting a stop to bullying in our schools and communities. In addition, The Yubbie Foundation creates educational literature to be distributed and promoted through various media and other venues.
Our Mission:
To stop violence in our schools and communities by engendering respect for all. We do this by:
- Providing young individuals with tools and resources to manage bullying in their lives.
- Delivering educational materials that develop self-confidence.
- Helping people realize their potential by educating them on how to live a healthier, more productive and balanced life.
The Yubbie Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization that is supported by the generous contributions made by private, and corporate, donations and grants that support the mission of the Foundation. Proceeds are allocated by donor request.
