The Champions of Valor Program employs evidence-based theories that have been successfully used in Character Education, as reported by the U.S. Department of Education’s What Works Clearinghouse. These theories focus on youth character development and utilize effective methods such as role models, interactive activities, and historical biographies to instill character traits. Using four sessions to highlight the 4 Educational Pillars detailed in this guide, preteens, and teens will understand service, sacrifice, citizenship, and legacy and be encouraged to reflect these attributes in their daily lives. By developing a thought process outside one’s self to the greater good of the community and nation, young individuals become more aware of their roles as responsible citizens and active contributors to a better world. The program provides past and present role models to emulate among age groups who strive to develop a sense of identity and purpose and make decisions regarding their future life paths.
