Championing character in organizations

Leaders of institutions and organizations have a special responsibility for the welfare of young people. The values you champion are reflected in the image of your organization, and make an indelible mark on the lives of your students.

The NAIA Champions of Character program gives you substantive tools, dialogue and support that empower you to make an impact not only on your organizational system, but on a broad range of youth throughout your community.

Whether you're leading at the collegiate level, in school districts or community youth leagues, Champions of Character puts practical tools and training for character-building in the hands of your staff and volunteers. And it gives your organization a compass with which to direct our next generation.

School and School District Administrators

Elementary school administrators communicate values that impact students for life. Administrators use Champions of Character to engage parents in the educational process and connect with members of the community.

Our program has been successful in both urban and suburban educational environments, engaging students at our Program Centers, championships and community centers. With our training and materials to support your character development efforts, you can help your school and district stand for a greater purpose.

Community Youth Organization Administrators

Youth participation in sports and other extracurricular activities is beneficial in developing well-rounded individuals. For an administrator charged with the care and education of young people in a particular sport or activity, the challenges of daily operations can easily obscure opportunities to impart great character learning.

The Champions of Character program helps youth organization leaders by bringing speakers and presentations to your coaches, instructors, parents and students. We offer practical methods and useful information that communicate character values in everyday life. Your organization can stand for something bigger by leveraging the resources and education of the Champions of Character program.
