Project Title: Character Builders: Values Education Program
Submitted By: Future Leaders Educational Foundation
Submission Date: February 28, 2025
Project Duration: 3 years (April 2025 – March 2028)

Executive Summary

Future Leaders Educational Foundation proposes the Character Builders program, an initiative designed to integrate values education into the elementary school curriculum across 15 schools in the region. This program focuses on teaching core values such as respect, integrity, empathy, and responsibility through a structured curriculum that includes classroom activities, community engagement projects, and teacher training. We are seeking $500,000 to develop materials, train teachers, and implement the program to ultimately cultivate a culture of positive values in our future generations.

Project Context

In today’s rapidly changing society, there is a growing need to explicitly teach foundational values to young students, helping them navigate complex social environments and make ethical decisions. Many schools lack structured programs that focus on values education, which is essential for developing well-rounded, ethical individuals.

Project Goals and Objectives

Goal 1: Develop and integrate a values education curriculum in 15 targeted elementary schools.
Objective 1.1: Design and produce values education teaching kits, including lesson plans, activities, and digital content by the first year.
Objective 1.2: Reach 5,000 elementary school students with the values education program by the end of the project.

Goal 2: Train teachers and school staff to effectively deliver values education.
Objective 2.1: Conduct training workshops for 150 teachers on methodologies for teaching values education by the second year.
Objective 2.2: Establish a support network for ongoing teacher development in values education beyond the project’s duration.
