Wings To Neverland

Exploring Positive Youth Development

A Chance In Life

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!
