Project Heart Curriculum
Unique, Tailored, Never Prescriptive
There is no one-size-fits-all approach here. Project Heart content is designed to meet your students exactly where they are — with age-appropriate lessons, language, and activities at every grade level.
Build Big Hearts in Little Learners
Educators tap into students’ innate desire to help others through kindness and giving — using stories, simple activities, and classroom conversations. Every resource helps students identify their time, talents, and treasures.
From Learners
to Leaders
Students begin thinking outside themselves — learning what a philanthropist is, how to write mission statements, and how to map out personal passions. By the end, students are ready to work as a team to make a real-world difference.
Connect Through Community Action
Students connect philanthropy to their everyday lives — creating personal mission statements, setting goals, and collaborating to accomplish a service project. Social connection drives every step of the learning journey.
Prepare Tomorrow’s Changemakers
High schoolers connect philanthropic learning to career goals — identifying action steps, critically evaluating nonprofits, and carrying out a service project with lasting community impact.
