Core value

Courage

Feeling scared and stepping forward anyway.

For kids

Courage is not the absence of butterflies. It is doing the kind or right thing while the butterflies are still flying around.

Courage grows through graded exposure and emotional naming. Validate the fear, shrink the step, and celebrate the attempt rather than the outcome.

In 'Speak Up, Starlight', a Guardian stands beside someone being left out — the smallest action in the story, and the bravest.

What is one brave thing you could do that would help someone else?

Say hello to someone who looks like they could use a friend.

Doing the right thing, even when nobody is watching.

Keep going, one brave step at a time.

Choosing what helps future you.

Caring about how you do things.
