Comedian Michael Jr
Known as one of today's most gifted communicators, Michael Jr brings laughter and encouragement to audiences all over the world.
Using comedy and dynamic storytelling he inspires audiences to discover and activate their purpose. This unique skill set has landed him on stages like The Tonight Show on NBC, TEDx talks and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His mission to make laughter commonplace in uncommon places means that he also seeks opportunities to share his gift with those in homeless shelters and prisons. You can find him in Sony Pictures' feature film War Room, as well as starring roles in Selfie Dad, Laughing on Purpose, and More Than Funny.
About Us
Students Standing Strong is a national 501(c)(3) organization known as S3, dedicated to connecting students at school to LEARN, LIVE, and LEAD Biblical Truth through student-led clubs. For two decades, S3 has partnered with students, churches, nonprofits, companies and other organizations to tackle the arduous challenges faced by this next generation. With clubs established in 20 states, S3 relocated its national headquarters to Waco two years ago and has since expanded into China Spring schools, with plans to reach other local districts and private schools.
Globally, there is a pressing need for hope, leadership, strong faith, passion for righteous living, and a bit of grit. These qualities are essential to standing strong for what’s right in politics, business, family life, communities, and college and professional sports. However, they are especially critical in America’s middle schools and high schools. Join us in expanding our reach, enabling more students to experience the positive impact of S3 clubs in their schools. Together, we can continue to inspire and empower our Christian leaders of tomorrow.
