Getting Started with Project Heart

Getting started with Project Heart is simple, fast and effective. Whether this is your first year teaching or you have been guiding young people your entire career, Project Heart is designed to help you do what you do best.

Uniquely Tailored, Never Prescriptive

We understand that there is no one-size learning model for every student. That is why we have tailored our Project Heart content to fit the unique needs and learning styles of different grade levels. Here is how we have customized learning materials and activities to connect to students of every age.

Educators tap into early elementary students' innate desire to help others by teaching kindness and giving through stories, simple activities, and classroom conversations. Students will learn how to identify needs and use their time, talents, and treasures to help others. Every resource was created to help you grow big hearts in little learners.

Educators tap into upper elementary school students’ ability to think outside of themselves by teaching the building blocks of philanthropy and giving back. Students learn about what a philanthropist is, what non-profit are, how to write mission statements and map out personal passions. By the end of the program, students are ready to work together as a team to make a difference in their community, across the country, or around the globe.

Educators tap into middle school students’ craving for social connection by teaching how to do philanthropy together. By connecting philanthropy to their everyday lives, students create personal mission statements, set goals, and then come together to accomplish a service project by the final lesson.

Educators tap into high school students’ desire to make a difference offering opportunities to connect philanthropic learning to impact now and into the future. By the final lesson, students create personal mission statements connected to career goals, identify action steps, critically evaluate nonprofits and the impact of social media and carry out a service project.

Project Heart was crafted to be a personalized experience for both educators and students.
