One School At A Time

The Healing the Children…One school at a time: Empowering Youth Program was developed by a former teacher, now working at Healing the Children – Northeast, Inc., in order to promote youth volunteerism and social awareness, specifically designed for schools and youth organizations. 

 Healing the Children…One school at a time program educates youth volunteers on the method of developing and following through with an objective while encouraging social awareness by providing a fulfilling opportunity to help the most needy of children. 

 The intention of the program is to create a caring community by engaging the youth and adult participants as learning partners that share responsibility in the character-building effort. The idea to promote student awareness through a fundraising campaign aims to bring real-life application to the forefront of the character education movement by fostering self-motivation and encouraging progress.  Students learn first-hand how to self-organize, develop responsible decision-making skills, and follow-through with a goal-oriented plan while expanding their sense of consciousness about the world around them.  Non-profit, humanitarian aid organizations, like Healing the Children - Northeast, Inc. with well-defined mission statements, compassionate objectives and circumstances that are relatable to real-life situations, present students with an unparalleled opportunity to take responsibility for improving their communities.
