Mission Statement:
It is the mission of Learning for Life to serve others by helping
to instill core values in young people and in other ways prepare
them to make ethical choices throughout their lives so they
can achieve their full potential.
Learning for Life was developed to meet the critical needs of
our nation's schools and communities.
Youth today have more needs than ever before. We live in a changing
world that has seen the disintegration of many families, rampant
drug abuse, extreme violence, and moral decay. Young people these
days are thrown into a hothouse of competition and social change
that tests their decision-making skills.
Learning for Life is designed to support schools and other youth-serving
organizations in their efforts toward preparing youth to successfully
handle the complexities of today's society and to enhance their
self-confidence, motivation, and self-worth. Learning for Life
also helps youth develop social and life skills, assists in character
development, and helps them formulate positive personal values.
It prepares youth to make ethical decisions that will help them
achieve their full potential. Learning for Life enhances teacher
capacity and increases youth learning!
Nationwide, school demand for character education programs has
greatly influenced the dramatic growth of Learning for Life. Learning
for Life has become a program for education with more than 20,000
schools and organizations nationwide serving more than 1.4 million
youth.
Learning for Life makes academic learning fun and relevant to
real-life situations. It helps youth reach beyond themselves by
placing them in situations that help them to understand and act
constructively. As a result, the values and skills learned by
participating in Learning for Life not only make youth more confident
and capable, but give them an invaluable understanding of how
things work in the real world.
