Project Heart for early elementary nurtures young students’ natural desire to help others through stories, simple activities, and classroom conversations. Kids learn to spot needs and use their time, talents, and treasures to make a difference—all with tools designed to grow big hearts in little learners.
How does Project Heart work?
Project Heart is a free resource that empowers teachers to spark a spirit of giving and generosity in the classroom. With engaging lessons and activities, Project Heart helps prepare students to recognize need in the world around them and look inward to find a way to help.
The integration of ANY of our Project Heart resources in your classroom opens up the opportunity for your students to apply for our Illumination Fund grant, requesting financial assistance for materials needed for a service project, matching funds for a fundraiser, or even field trip reimbursement to visit a nonprofit they are interested in learning more about.
How do I use Project Heart?
Bringing Project Heart into your early elementary classroom is simple and flexible. Our ready-to-use resources fit your schedule and adapt to your students’ needs. Choose from nine hands-on activities designed to spark student-led impact—because when kids take the lead, big things happen.
What can I expect?
Teachers and youth program providers who implement Project Heart with a group or a class tend to embody the qualities quickly, developing an empathy advantage. We see students are more aware of others’ needs around them and more willing to use their time and talents to solve problems with a little more kindness than before.
