Making the Socially Awkward, Socially Active Every Day.

Level Up With 1Up EDU

Three Students at the Everyone Games PA event in 2021

At VGCUSA, our passion for education was sparked by the profound impact a teacher had on us during our formative years.

 

The 1Up EDU Framework empowers teachers and librarians to foster connections among students through inclusive gaming clubs. By becoming a mentor and introducing our SEL Hacked games, you can help even the quietest student in the corner forge new friendships.

 

Join us in making a significant impact on your students' lives.
