Description
Students will jump into 16 weeks of afterschool fun with two sessions a week from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. They’ll explore civic and intellectual virtues like gratitude, leadership, community awareness, critical thinking, service, neighborliness, and confidence. Small groups and hands-on activities keep things lively, and every session ends with check-ins and reflection time to help ideas stick. Students will meet inspiring local role models along the way and see how big virtues make a big difference in the real world. All sessions are taught by our trained educators and take place right here at the Louisiana Children’s Museum, the perfect place to learn, lead, and laugh.
