Lifespring FoundationLifespring was founded in 1974 and had an immediate and enduring impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of participants who took part in the Lifespring trainings. In addition to the success of Lifespring in promulgating the impact of experiential education, John P. Hanley, Sr., Ph.D., the founder and president of Lifespring, believed in giving back to the community beyond the forum of the Lifespring trainings. For that reason, the Lifespring Foundation was established. The Lifespring Foundation was organizationally and financially distinct from Lifespring and was specifically chartered to facilitate and evaluate personal and professional human development trainings for non-profit organizations and to raise support, funds, and volunteer resources for charitable groups. Over the course of its history, the Lifespring Foundation brought its work and services to, for example, state prisons, the United States Air Force, public schools, public educators, the Special Olympics, and even Soviet-era Russia. This section highlights the charter
and history of the Lifespring Foundation and includes vignettes
