BOUNCE BACK
Our newest initiative, launched in 2025, Bounce Back is an award and encouragement program designed to honor youth who are actively building resilience and making meaningful progress in their lives.
These young people are in what we refer to as the “Preparation and Action” stages of change—they’re showing up, doing the work, and beginning to bounce back from life’s challenges with greater strength, confidence, and emotional awareness. Sometimes, all they need is a boost of encouragement to keep going.
Bounce Back awards recognize that effort.
Selected youth receive a personalized certificate and a gift card, honoring their growth and encouraging their continued progress.
HOW IT WORKS
Program Partners—like schools, youth-serving organizations, churches, and community groups—select the youth they want to recognize.
There is no cost to participate. CBR provides a renewable grant in the form of pre-paid gift cards, plus a certificate template and support as needed.
Partners use the awards in ways that best fit their program and submit brief updates to CBR about how awards are being used.
TWO TYPES OF PARTNERSHIPS:
PROGRAM PARTNERS
Organizations that work directly with youth and choose recipients for the Bounce Back award. These include schools, programs supporting disabilities, mental health, economic hardship, and more.
FINANCIAL PARTNERS
Individuals, companies, foundations, and donors who make the program possible by funding awards and resources.
