Because I Said I Would

Chapter education programs focus on the ethical, intellectual, social and emotional development of students while instilling a sense of civic duty. We provide students with the opportunity to build the self-control needed to face lifes challenges. With a focus on core values like honesty, accountability and compassion, our aim is to help build stronger citizens through promises made and kept. Our chapter education programs take place in communities, schoools, and correctional facilities, as well as, on site at our camp and include: schollwide impact programs kicked off with a motivational assembly, lesson plans for educators, and workshops featuring animated videos and engaging activities.

Awareness campaigns and public resources. Society needs to be reminded that promises still matter and a handshake still means something. Our awareness campaigns reach hundreds of thousands of people annually through public service announcements through social media, worldwide newsletters that include compelling supporter promise stories, speaches at charities, schools, and juvenile detention centers, and local and national media coverage.

The promise to volunteer. Less than 25% of all americans volunteer. Few promises are more important than to show up. This program creates plans for impactful volunteer projects, staff support to chapter volunteer projects, and promise badges that reward good citizenship and promises kept to yourself and others.

Accountabilty best practices. You are 46% more likely to fulfil a promise if you share it with someone. We provide promise cards and a framework for planning your promises and holding yourself accountable. This framework includes promise planner worksheets, accountability programs in schools, communities, and correctional facilities and free promise cards.
