COMMUNITY WORKS IS DEDICATED TO GIVING STUDENTS THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO LIVE PRODUCTIVE AND VITAL LIVES. THIS INNOVATIVE ENTERPRISE WAS DIRECTLY CONCEIVED THROUGH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH; RESEARCH THAT SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON THE PERCEIVED EDUCATIONAL GAPS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST FOR K-12 STUDENTS. EDUCATORS AGREE THAT YOUTH LEADERSHIP AND CHARACTER EDUCATION ARE THE #1 PRIORITIES NEEDING SOLUTIONS. COMMUNITY WORKS WAS CREATED TO FILL THOSE NEEDS.
THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES PROJECT LEADERSHIP AT THREE LEVELS: 1. MY STORY MATTERS OFFERS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY VALUE THROUGH INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP-DIRECTED ACTIVITIES. 2.

HERE STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO THINK ABOUT HOW THEIR VOICE IS A TOOL TO EXERCISE PERSONAL POWER, BY FOCUSING ON BUILDING SELF-CONFIDENCE IN THEIR OWN STRENGTHS AND TEACHING THEM THE ART OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION. 3.

THROUGH WORKSHOPS AND SERVICE PROJECTS, THE CURRICULUM ADDRESSES CORE ELEMENTS OF CHARACTER AND LEADERSHIP, THUS GUIDING THE STUDENTS THROUGH PROBLEM-SOLVING TO ULTIMATELY EXPOSE THEM TO THE KEY ELEMENTS OF SELF-DISCOVERY, TEAM WORK AND SERVICE.
