Teaching Tools:
• Curriculum with flexible, easy-to-use , and self-contained lesson plans for a 15-hour program. • Storybook that provides the foundation for the curriculum, about a superhero alliance that searches for real kids doing good things • 12-Badge System representing different types of compassionate causes to help kids find their own passions to give back • Superpower Equation – MY TALENT + MY HEART = MY SUPERPOWER!: Students discover personal ways to give by using their talents to affect causes they care about, making compassion a fun and lasting part of their self-identity.
Program Highlights: • • • • • • • •
Provides a easy-to-read overview of lessons taught. Integrates easily into existing programs with flexible, self-contained lesson plans.

There’s a lot of value to this program. Plus, it’s visually stimulating and very easy to use, very well laid-out. I could definitely see us using it again. – Kevin Kinney, Executive Director of Shelby Park, Metro Parks, Louisville, KY I’m glad we did it. Kids liked it and parents had positive comments. – Youth Philanthropy Club, Community Foundation of Corydon, IN I am so thankful for the opportunity to implement this program at the center.
