Horses Teaching Kids the Language of Virtues™
Growing Compassionate Leaders, One Child at a Time
Building Character Through Virtues™ is an educational hub created to support children, youth, families, and community programs through values-based learning. In 2012, founder Yvonne Allen became a certified Virtues Project Facilitator, trained in the global program that teaches emotional literacy, decision-making, empathy, and character development across more than 100 countries.
As part of that certification, The Virtues Project International Association granted permission for our organization to share and adapt select virtues cards for community education. Each card teaches a single virtue with simple reflections, daily practice steps, and affirmations. These tools are offered to help children, adults, and families build confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
Below you will find a growing collection of Virtues resources — gently updated in design for ease of reading — and shared with permission of the Virtues Project International Association (VPIA).
