Project Heart for high school grades challenges students to make a difference in their community, using skills they can as philanthropists to generate success in the world of work and post-secondary education.
How does Project Heart work?
Using Project Heart, teachers will 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 engage in creating personal mission statements connected to career goals, identify action steps, critically evaluate nonprofits, the impact of social media and carry out a service project.
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?
You can implement Project Heart in almost any high school setting with ease! Whether you are looking for ways to encourage teamwork and service learning, offering thought provoking activities that tie history to today, or needing to meet a capstone service learning requirement, Project Heart is rich in resources. Educators and parents who implement Project Heart with a group or a class embody the qualities quickly, developing an empathy advantage that transcends just that group. We see students who find their voice more readily and work together with peers to make a meaningful impact in their communities and the world.
The companion series of 90 microlearnings are aligned to the larger series of lessons, making them perfect for promoting higher order thinking in warm-ups or reflections.
