CHARACTER COUNTS! is two things: an educational framework for teaching universal values and a national coalition of organizations that support each other.
The CHARACTER COUNTS! framework transcends politics, religion, and cultural differences. It isn’t a curriculum, an add-on, an out-of-the-box program, or a quick-fix fad. Our flexible methodology lets you shape your character-education initiative to your needs.

The CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition embraces over 900 organizations and thousands of schools. Our members include schools, districts, municipalities, human-service agencies, youth-service groups, and businesses. Together we reach more than 7 million young people every day.
