The Basics

WHAT EVERYONE CAN AND SHOULD DO!

 We live in a world with so many resources.  We're diverse.  We're talented.  And each of us has the power to make a positive difference in some way. Like the "Character Affirmation" states, " ... change starts with me ... ".  Because if not you, then who?!  

Most of us have moral character; it is what we have that reflects our core ethical values. But performance character enables us to act on our ethical values to make a difference in the world! Start at this very moment, identify what you can do right now that will have a positive impact!  And model excellent character as you go about each and every day!

If you can help us help you, here a few additional ways to support us in our work: 

  • Volunteer
  • Attend and support events
  • Advocate. Be a character promoter. Earn the 'Character Champion' Designation. ​
  • Nominate citizens and/or groups worthy of recognition
  • Follow Us (on the internet and social media)
  • Be a Benefactor. Become a Sponsor, Partner or Booster
  • Make a donation. Donations help support our initiatives and programs (at a minimum, they help provide character education material; sponsor/support events; and marketing and advertising)
  • ​Purchase Orangeburg County Community of Character ("Character") merchandise
  • Wear Orangeburg County Community of Character ("Character") merchandise

"What matters is not what you buy but what you build; not what you get but what you give; not what you learn but what you teach; not the problem but the response; ... what matters is your character." - EMD


If not you then who? If not now, then when? If not here, then where?
