March Kindness: 3Ts Slam Dunk!

Did you know you're already a philanthropist? You have time, talent, and treasure — and this activity helps students discover exactly what that means for them personally.

Moving through three sections, students list activities they could give their time to, skills and talents they could share with their community, and items of value they could offer to someone in need. The result is a personalized philanthropic profile that makes giving feel concrete, achievable, and genuinely exciting.

The slam dunk framing keeps the energy high and the thinking focused — this isn't a passive exercise, it's a challenge. By the time students fill in all three sections, they've moved from "I'm just a kid" to "I actually have a lot to offer." That shift in identity is exactly what Project Heart is built to create, and this activity delivers it in a format that's fast, fun, and genuinely motivating.
