That’s right—Ethics!
About this Event
The Ethics for Youth program is a fun, safe, interactive learning environment for kids and teens to investigate important topics that affect their lives and to deepen their understanding of their roles in their personal and broader communities. Our program fosters empathy, a deeper understanding of self and others, and empowers students to make a difference in their world.
How do we do it? Each of our weekly classes features a lesson drawn from our 5 core principles: Caring for Self, Family, Community, Society (our world community), and the Earth. Our lessons utilize participatory learning through art, theatre, games, music, discussion, reflection, and most importantly – action, through service projects and collaborative work with a diversity of communities and organizations.
Our lessons and service projects are influenced by student passions and interests. Our program does not impose a fixed set of values or beliefs. Rather, our goal is to provide experiences and a space where students can identify their own values, expand their knowledge, and gain skills essential to developing and following their own moral compass and voice. All of our classes participate in the service projects, field trips, and welcome special guests throughout the year. Families are not expected to participate but are welcome to do so if they wish to join us.
The program is divided into 3 age groups: 5-8yo, 9-12yo, and 13+.
