Project Heart for middle school grades inspires students to use their talents and passions to address a need they see in their communities, all while encouraging collaboration and teamwork to make a difference.
How do I use Project Heart?
Implementing Project Heart in the middle school classroom is easy! Whether you have an elective devoted to service learning, a student council group, or an after-school club, this program is straightforward and easily adaptable. We see students 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.
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 does Project Heart work?
Using Project Heart, teachers tap into middle school students’ craving for social connection by teaching how to do philanthropy together. By connecting philanthropy to their everyday lives, students engage in creating personal mission statements, setting goals, and then coming together to accomplish a service project by the final lesson.
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.
