Reading Rumble is a fun online book club accessed through the Joy Circles Gang ‘Turbo’ subscription. Kids subscribing at this level can log-on weekly and discuss a pre-selected book with their peers. A trained Reading Rumble adult mentor facilitates each group session.

Welcome to the Joy Circles Gang Clubhouse, where each week, four preteens and their mentor Alex dive into music, humor, and “Models-for-Live”, lessons that make growing up feel exciting, not confusing.

About Joy Circles

Joy Circles about

Introduction

Childhood is a sacred stage of life. And preteens sit at a critical crossroads of life, when they can use extra skills and tools to help them navigate the challenges of growing up.

Joy Circles® was created to bring important skills to children and their families to serve them through the preteen years and beyond

What is Joy Circles®?

Joy Circles® is a mindset that has generated both a transformational program and a dynamic web series designed for 9-13-year-olds that positively impacts their self-confidence, communication, reading, and self-management skills. Joy Circles accomplishes this by utilizing contemporary fiction, models, and interactive group activities.

What is The Joy Circles Gang?

The Joy Circles Gang is a dynamic new web series launching this February with live actors on the Joy Circles Gang App, then eventually on Roku, Apple+ TV, Android, iOS. Four preteen friends gather weekly in their makeshift clubhouse with their older friend, Alex, to enjoy music, monkey-business, and wisdom about growing up strong, kind and confident.

More information can be viewed under the Joy Circles Gang drop down menu about free trials, subscription levels, and the add-on programs like Reading Rumble and TranscenDance for Kool Kids (Preteens)!

 

Circles foster community and communication, serving social and emotional purposes. It’s a place where young people feel safe, valued, and heard. When gathered in a circle, everyone is equal and engaged.
