The Mayfly Project has developed a reward system where our kids can earn buttons by completing tasks throughout the project. Kids can also proudly display these buttons on their drawstring backpacks to show their achievements and progression through the project. This will the goal to build self-esteem through achieving goals, and to help youth stay focused on the TMP goals. Instructional and interactive – what a great way to keep kids engaged and excited.
