Learn4Life Students Tour Pittsburgh with Beating the Odds

In November 2019, students from Learn4Life Antelope Valley Learning Academy in California traveled to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to present their QBOL Blueprint to Success at Heinz Field. Students presented to former Pittsburgh Steelers and Super Bowl Champions Rocky Bleier, Randy Grossman, John Banaszak and Mike Wagner, as well as other representatives from the Steelers organization. The following day, 30 students, teachers, and administrators got the incredible opportunity to attend the Steelers vs. Rams. At the game, they were treated to a tailgate tent on Rooney Avenue where students met former Steeler Chris Hoke.

For 30 years the Beating the Odds Foundation (BTO) has been telling the stories of individuals like Rocky Bleier and organizations like the Pittsburgh Steelers. These stories, that we call Quarterbacks of Life®, provide the Foundation's Blueprint called the Five Stepping Stones to Success.

As a part of Learn4Life's TREC offerings, BTO focuses on student leadership and goal setting. The students perform research through the project-based course as well as set goals using the Stepping Stones to Success.

These students earned this experience by their successful participation in a 12-week Beating the Odds class along with a research project on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The trip was a capstone event as a part of the BTO resiliency course.
