Announcing BeadforLife’s Curriculum

Understanding Global Poverty: How Youth Can Make a Difference!

BeadforLife is proud to announce our curriculum “Understanding Global Poverty: How Youth Can Make a Difference“. This is a dynamic experiential service-learning curriculum for grades 6 through 12.

After a year of hard work, and a successful pilot reaching over 200 students in more than 10 classrooms, we have developed and fine-tuned an interactive  5-day curriculum that captures the daily experiences of those living in extreme poverty on a dollar a day. Our ultimate goal is for the next generation of youth to become informed global citizens who feel empowered to alleviate extreme poverty wherever they encounter it, whether it is in their local community or in a remote village halfway across the world.

We encourage youth leaders of all types to bring this curriculum to your group, be they faith-based, scout troops, or other organizations serving this age range. We also have plans to expand the curriculum in the coming year to reach youth at the elementary and university levels. If you are interested in helping us adapt this curriculum please contact our Education Program Manager, Patty Manwaring at Patty@beadforlife.org.
