Joshua was defiant when we first met him. Joshua's teacher told us, "He had a lot of outbursts and didn't want to follow directions. He was very confused." His teacher and the School Social Worker were constantly working with Joshua. After he completed the Teach One to Lead One (T1L1) program, he told us, "T1L1 taught me to have self-control, never give up on my dreams, and treat others the way I want to be treated. If someone lets me down, I need to pick myself up again. When times got rough, T1L1 was there for me and made me feel safe."

RESPECT

Treat others with respect in all situations.

INTEGRITY

Integrity is doing the right thing even when nobody is looking.

SELF-CONTROL

Show self-control in order to maintain a safe and healthy lifestyle

COURAGE

Demonstrate courage even in the face of self-doubt and fear.

Our communities are shaped by our beliefs about ourselves and how we treat others. Many students not only face constant negative influences everywhere but have no one that cares enough about them to teach them what their life could be like.

EXCELLENCE

Exercise excellence as a habit and a consistent part of your life.

HUMILITY

Balance your self-confidence with healthy doses of humility.

COMPASSION

Show great compassion for those less fortunate than yourself.

TEAMWORK

Contribute to teamwork and reap the benefits as well.

ENTHUSIASM

Generate enthusiasm in yourself and others towards a positive purpose.

HONOR

A person of honor consistently makes the right choices.
