Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Since 2012 we have distributed more than 13.6 million Promise Cards to over 178 different countries. We have also started Chapters around the United States and have created 7 Character Education Lesson Plans which are free to download. This would not have been possible without our volunteers.
