Choose Love Movement
Ironically, sometimes a tragedy leads to unimaginable positive developments. Scarlett Lewis, whose 6-year-old son sacrificed his own life while bravely saving the lives of his fellow students at Newtown Connecticut School shooting, did not want to live a lifetime of grief and loss. She chose to turn her unfathomable tragedy into something potentially positive - The Choose Love Movement.
The Choose Love Movement since its founding in 2012, has touched millions of children through their school by teaching them how to respond to life's challenges with love, kindness, and compassion rather than anger, hatred, or revenge.
Through their flagship program, Choose Love for Schools, they provide a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum essential life skills for children from Pre-K through 12th grade.
Why They Were Funded
Why we chose the Choose Love Movement: We are thrilled to work with the Choose Love Movement since they can change the world by changing socialization of children and troubled adults. Poor socialization, even among educated or economically advantaged children, can result in societal ills such as crimes, drug culture, homelessness, etc., by creating an unhappy person who remains troubled until they learn a new way of interacting with themselves and the world.
The Potential: We cannot say enough about Choose Love Movement's power to change the world in the best ways possible.
Grants Made: 2024 - Partially funded Operations Manager salary and other administrative expenses.
