Each episode introduces a new story—of children who have faced extraordinary challenges but found their own version of Neverland through the programs and initiatives of A Chance In Life. The hosts bring these stories to life with playful banter, emotional reflections, and a deep passion for the organization's mission. From Italy to India, listeners will hear firsthand from the youth, staff, and supporters who make this magic happen.
Through these uplifting conversations, *Wings to Neverland* showcases how a little bit of support—what the hosts lovingly refer to as "pixie dust"—can change lives.

Wings To Neverland
Exploring Positive Youth Development
In this inspiring and heartwarming episode of Wings to Neverland, Peter and Wendy dive into the transformative power of Positive Youth Development—a philosophy that believes every young person has the potential to lead, grow, and give back. With stories from A Chance In Life’s global programs and a spotlight on Ivana, a once-shy teen who found her voice through The Youth Leadership Workshop, this episode brings to life what happens when young people are seen not as problems to fix, but as leaders in the making. Rooted in the visionary work of Monsignor Carroll-Abbing, who gave war orphans in post WWII Italy the gift of self government, the conversation explores how trust, mentorship, and opportunity can unlock competence, confidence, connection, character, compassion, and ultimately, contribution. With their signature mix of warmth, insight, and just the right amount of pixie dust, Peter and Wendy show us why youth don’t just need a helping hand—they need a chance. Join us for a journey into purpose, potential, and the ripple effect of believing in young people. Second star to the right… and straight on till transformation!
