Who We Are Through training for teachers, values discussions, student forums, parent involvement and service learning, Community of Caring addresses destructive attitudes that lead to early sexual involvement, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, delinquent behavior, and dropping out of school. Founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Community of Caring is a project of the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation.
Research indicates a strong link between mental retardation and teen pregnancy.
This program is part of the Foundation's efforts to prevent teen pregnancy and lower the incidence of mental retardation. D.C. Under the leadership of great individuals like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln, the United States has developed a concept of government based on values that the American people hold in common. At the heart of the Community of Caring are these five values - Caring, Respect, Responsibility, Trust, and Family. Today, we as citizens must do as our forefathers did and promote and incorporate these values into our families, schools, communities, and nation. Community of Caring is not confined to a traditional classroom, nor is it a curriculum.
