IMAGINE...
-
Imagine a world in which people everywhere recognize the value of all human beings and appreciate one another for their differences.
-
Imagine a culture that is more empathetic, compassionate, understanding, and proactive in helping fellow human beings and making the world a better place in which to live.
-
Imagine beginning the process of developing responsible civic leaders by showing students that their thoughts and opinions not only matter, but can accomplish many things.
-
Imagine planting these seeds of thought in the kindergarten classroom and continuing to sow them until the day of graduation.
The Absolute Value of One is a 501(c)3 organization that specializes in curriculum design based on the concept of service-learning. It is our vision to offer our services to educators, schools, and community organizations at an affordable rate by seeking the support of donors so we can empower all students everywhere to give back to their communities many times over.
"Inspiring and empowering youth to engage actively in the community through service-learning and educational programs designed to appreciate the absolute value of every human being."
We would like to extend a very special thank you to Catholic Charities of the Greensburg Diocese for their grant in the amount of $9,425.00. This money will be used to purchase the books we use in our program and provide enough funding to purchase the books needed to work in five school simultaneously! |
On an ongoing basis, we will be offering afterschool programs at Latrobe Elementary School, Baggaley Elementary School, and Mountain View Elementary School (one program per semester in each school). Each program runs from 4:00-5:30 for eight consecutive weeks. Fliers will be sent home with the students prior to registration and will also be available online. The cost for participation is $80. Financial assistance is available upon request and with valid proof of need.
