Mission

Love In A Big World empowers kids, families & communities through character education, healthy habits, social responsibility and FUN!

Background

Navigating this Big World is scary. We guide youth from risk to resiliency while providing character education resources for schools, families, and communities. #FromRiskToResiliency

Impact

After 20 years of service, we have fine-tuned our Mission and Vision to meet the needs of kids, families and communities in the 21st century. Movement: Our goal is to become a recognized movement that serves as a catalyst to turn the hearts of adults toward children, and the hearts of children toward adults, uniting them to overcome the evil in our world with good.

Needs

News of terrorist attacks, mass shootings and natural catastrophes seem to fill the news almost on a daily basis. Whether or not we are directly impacted by these traumatic events, the awareness of them seems to have woken us up to the reality of trauma in our everyday life, such as verbal abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, feeling unloved by family members, abuse suffered by mother, alcoholism, mental illness, lack of necessities, divorce, and neglect. In a world full of uncertainty and turmoil, students need meaningful connections with caring adults more than ever.Social and emotional learning helps us identify what is going on in our heads and in our hearts, so we can use our hands to build up and not tear down.
