Because I said I would Chapters empower the next generation to make and keep promises, strengthen their self-control and use it to better the world around them. We accomplish this through character education and volunteerism founded on service learning.

What does the Smithson Valley Chapter Do?

Because I said I would High School Chapters use evidence based curriculum and a focus on promise making to cultivate character development and social emotional skills in students. Chapters provide character development to students through:

  • Interactive bi-monthly Chapter Livestreams led by Founder Alex Sheen. Each session will focus on a different topic.

  • Monthly Promise planning and accountability sessions led by student leaders

  • A series of individual action plans for students to complete that help address issues brought on by COVID-19.

While our Chapter will continue to focus on character development and social emotional learning, this year’s curriculum will focus on highlighting student’s own personal accountability during this pandemic, as well as ways to fortify their own emotional well being
