What is C.A.P.?
Over the past few decades, we’ve had a steep decline in local community and trust. “We’ve inadvertently deprived Gen Z (those born after 1995) of real-world community, independence, and free play, and replaced those things with smartphones and social media, contributing to a precipitous decline in their mental health.” The Community Ambassador Program (C.A.P.) is about bringing back community to your school.
C.A.P. involves placing one of our team members at your school to work alongside your team as a yearlong partner to:
Spread the Sweethearts & Heroes message of HOPE & Action;
Establish a Circle Culture among your students and staff;
Introduce you to our role model system with the BRAVE Program.
We provide individualized support, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly throughout the school year, to establish our work as a consistent practice in your community and to implement several of our programs based on your community’s needs.
C.A.P. Services
Hope & Action
Our work always begins with our message of HOPE & Action. Our foundational assemblies introduce the world of Sweethearts & Heroes. However, if your students haven’t seen this message, our Community Ambassador will bring this to your students in a variety of ways, including K-6 Classroom Presentations or the 6-12 HOPE Series and 3-5 Intro to HOPE Series on The HOPE Classroom.
Circle Culture
One of the primary goals is to build your district into a Circle Culture. Circle is the MOST IMPORTANT practice we do and is at the heart of our work. Throughout the year, we’ll facilitate Circles and help train your students and staff, starting with a 2-month orientation process that will orient your community to the practice while helping us understand your specific community needs and strengths.
Role Modeling
Depending on your school’s progress and needs, and meeting students where they are, we will also look to implement our B.R.A.V.E. Role Model System to help guide your youth influencers to connect with and lead their younger peers in age-mixed, play-based learning. Attaching a Champion Teacher or two to these programs will ensure sustainability after we’re gone to facilitate this process without our supervision.
