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:

"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?
