2. To participate in and encourage community involvement in awareness programs.

We also ask members to publicize local, state and national CHARACTER COUNTS! activities and the impact of character education in their communities.

Entire Communities: Communities that become Coalition members enable all of their local schools, civic, youth-service and religious organizations and government agencies to receive membership benefits.

Businesses: CHARACTER COUNTS! began in schools and human-service organizations. But it seeks to engage all sectors of the community. As employers of parents and youth and as financial support, local businesses are critical to your character education efforts. To help, we have created a category of CHARACTER COUNTS! membership just for business.
