The ultimate focus is to promote the following: • Character: excellent morals, values, and principles • Coins: financial lessons • Community: acts of service • Creativity: passions, purpose, and legacy The goal is for young people to work on an aspect of the lesson during the week the lesson is taught. Included in this curriculum are 52 lessons, one lesson per week. Further, the students should find an article or video that is relevant and write in their journals about the topic and share what they learned with others. Also, students should use their creative abilities through art, words, collages, drawings, or whatever mechanism they choose and submit to the facilitator after lesson.
