Humanity Club
Just a few of our handpicked Humanity Club student leaders, striking a confident pose
“If we are to reach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.”
Using original arts-based activities and materials, Humanity Club teaches the values of “equality for each, respect for all” to handpicked student leaders, typically young girls of color. By working on leadership skills including public speaking, we help them to create and deliver a program to their peers that instills greater respect for the goodness and inherent value of every human being. Of central importance to the program, the lessons taught in Humanity Club also inspire feelings of confidence and self-worth.
how this serves our mission:
The Humanity Project believes that focused leadership training, exposure to new ideas and consistent encouragement given to young students all provide a solid foundation for more of them to assume socially significant roles in later life. This promotes gender and racial equality as well as a more diverse community. In the short term, these young leaders greatly influence attitudes and behavior throughout their school, church or other social group.
