The YETI Club© program helps reduce bullying and increase social tolerance as it builds self-worth, self-esteem and personal responsibility.
This program opens children up to a whole new way to view themselves, their classmates, and their peers across the country, through an exciting and unique webcast learning environment.
Wholeschool connects 10 classroom or afterschool program groups together from anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, and together these students become members of The YETI Club©.
For the next two months, your students explore, share, show and tell with all other groups as they discover how amazing their bodies, emotions, and minds truly are. Friendships are formed. Common ground is discovered. Kids learn they have a lot more in common than they may have initially thought! And they learn what an amazing gift their lives truly are, and the possibilities their lives can have.
Students meet Poto the Yeti©, a young bigfoot who is curious about humans. He wants to learn about why they do the things they do. Together with Poto, kids explore what it is to be human in a non-judgmental and fun way.

"I had to be arm-twisted to do this because I'm a novice with computers. The people that helped me set up the computer were so patient and helpful that I suddenly overcame my fear of the technology part of it."
-- Brad Lindsay, 5th Grade teacher, Broadway Elementary, Spokane Valley, WA
