“When children become engaged in their community, they feel more invested and over time continue to give."
Linda Brucker Executive Director, A Legacy of Giving
Program Overview
A Legacy of Giving teaches students to improve their communities through philanthropy. We use service-learning to teach a five-step process that students can use whether they aim to reduce poverty, examine water and environment issues or improve education. These steps are:
Learning: through our Academic
Assemblies
Internalizing: through the delivery of our Academic Assemblies and ‘Make it Your Own’ follow-up Lesson
Advocating: through Teacher PowerPoints developed by Legacy
Acting: through Day of Service and Walk for the Water
Reflecting: through Teacher PowerPoints developed by Legacy
