The Foundation's outreach involves youth groups of all types, e.g., church and community based organizations, scouting, inner city programs and boys and girls clubs.
As the focus is character development, our primary outreach is geared toward primary, elementary and early high school aged young people, however the curriculum and resources supplied by the Foundation have proven effectiveness for all ages including troubled youth. The Foundation's programs are exportable to residential settings, summer camps and traditional and home school curricula.
The principal method is via Train the Trainer type education applications through regularly scheduled teaching seminars. Grants/scholarships are provided so that attendees may participate without personal cost. Attendance includes all travel, housing, subsistence and resource materials. (see information about our Character Development Mentor Training Forums)
Resource materials are being developed that can be obtained as a complete unit. Check back for more information.
