Ambassadors of Kindness
The goal of education is more than just learning to read and write. Education should provide the foundation for knowing who I am as an individual, who we are collectively, where we have been and where we are going and most importantly how I can find my purpose in the world around me.
The Ambassadors of Kindness curriculum is a fully integrated curriculum that provides a foundation for building skills of reading and writing. It does so while building awareness of values and virtues, and building an understanding of history and social studies that reflects an awareness of our Global Citizenry.
Content is presented in an interactive way so that students can engage from a personal viewpoint. Content for younger children uses pedagogical stories, interactive coloring books, and developmentally aligned content.
Contents is designed to be accessible to all types of learners, especially our high creatives who often get labeled with ADHD.
THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY
The Ambassador's of Kindness curriculum provides a walk through history, fully integrated into concepts related to character, integrity, honor and purpose. A SEL curriculum need not be separate from relevant content, but fully integrated into a deep understanding of Humanity.
PERSONALLY RELEVANT & DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE
The Ambassadors of Kindness curriculum provides a foundation understanding how the consciousness of children changes. Young children see the world more simply. Starting to work with those budding concepts and helping them to see themselves as good is the foundation for building World Citizens.
We don't need to focus on skill building through meaningless content. We can build the skills of reading and writing through powerfully meaningful stories and activities.
Building character is the foundation for our global society. If you are looking for a new SEL curriculum for your school or some activities for your homeschool, please check out our curriculum packages.

a note on the Virtues Project
The Virtues Project has been in operation for nearly 27 years. Founded in 1991 by Linda Kavelin-Popov, Dr. Dan Popov and John Kavelin, the Virtues Project is employed in schools across the world and has been recognized by the United Nations as a "model global program for families of all cultures".
From the Virtues Project Website:
The Virtues Project empowers individuals to live more authentic meaningful lives, families to raise children of compassion and integrity, educators to create safe, caring, and high performing learning communities, and leaders to encourage excellence and ethics in the workplace. It has inspired and mobilized people worldwide to commit acts of service and generosity, to heal violence with virtues.
For the Community House Network programming, we will employ some of the framework of the Virtues Project and utilize some of the child and family friendly resources. The Virtues Project utilized five strategies:
1. Speak the Language of Virtues: Language has the power to discourage or to inspire. Using virtues to acknowledge, guide, correct and thank awakens the best within us.
2. Recognize Teachable Moments: Recognizing the virtues needed in daily challenges helps us to become lifelong learners open to the lessons of character.
3. Set Clear Boundaries: Boundaries based on respect and restorative justice create a climate of peace, cooperation, and safety in our homes, schools, and communities.
4. Honor the Spirit: We sustain our vision and purpose by integrating virtues into our activities, surroundings, celebrations, and the arts.
5. Offer Companioning: Being deeply present and listening with compassionate curiosity guides others to find clarity and to create their own solutions. It supports healing and growth.
