Why Empathy?
Empathy is an important skill for adolescents to develop. It helps teens form/maintain quality peer relations and promotes psychological well-being. Unfortunately, it is declining among young people.
How Can We Help Reverse This Trend?
Research shows that empathy can be taught and that adolescence is the key time to teach it.
The Four Elements to Our Approach:
Teaching Tools: Providing young leaders a set of tools to teach empathy in their local chapters. We currently have five local chapters and have successfully piloted programs to incorporate tools into school curriculums.
Connections: Identifying opportunities for members to expand their perspectives through dialogue with people in their communities or victims of social injustice. Programs include virtual penpals and a new podcast series.
Service Learning: Volunteering and/or fundraising for crises affecting local or global communities and inviting speakers to share their experiences.
Passion Projects: Identifying global case studies leveraging art and literature which have the unique ability to evoke emotions, stimulate discussions, and provide diverse perspectives. Our current projects attempt to shed light on the experiences of affected students in war-torn regions of the world.
We are so grateful for your support!
