Leadership

Leading By Example (LBE)
Middle and high school youth, college students and adults of any age review different definitions of character and develop a positive definition that would be healthy & beneficial to their lives. They challenge one another in the evaluation of how well their present behavior matches their ideal behavior of a person of character. Workshops can be held at schools, youth-serving community centers, or at UFC's educational facility.

Choosing Character
With the aid of songs, role-playing, videos, storytelling and puppets, students in Kindergarten through third grade focus on attributes of character such as respect, kindness, honesty, obedience to parents, self-control, and responsibility.

Conflict Resolution
Addresses the root causes of conflict. Topics include: Choices and Consequences, Anger Management, Healthy Relationships, Goal-setting, Character and Self Image, Friendship and The Impact of the Media.

Helping ex-Offenders Prepare Effectively (HOPE)
Identifies and helps ex-offenders overcome multiple challenges related to convictions, including restricted access to housing and public assistance. One-on-one and group mentoring helps clients foster relationships with family members, and other issues that may impede reintegration into the community.

Parent Leadership University (PLU)
Focuses on developing and enhancing leadership among parents, as well as increasing communication between schools, parents and their surrounding communities.
