MAKE THE WORLD BETTER is all about heart with purpose, and the courage to care. It’s not about waiting for change, but becoming the reason it happens, growing through what we live and serving through what we’ve learned.
“Dean’s passionate storytelling, drawn from his personal experiences, truly captures our students’ interests. Dean has shown how dreams can lead to exploring the world – not as a tourists, but as someone living each moment to the fullest. This ability to share meaningful relationships with the people he meets allows our students to envision their own adventures beyond Nebraska.”
– Christine Radcliff, Wilber Clatonia Elementary Principal
“When I asked my second graders what they’d remember most from the school year, one student quoted Dean Jacobs. I’m so grateful for the impact his inspiring videos had on my students.”
– Hilda Guerrero, Grade 2 Teacher, California
