Another exciting change in 1999 was the effort to nurture virtues in children. Trained volunteers now teach children about loyalty, gentleness, justice, self-discipline, honor, and many other virtues. Each week the children sit in a talking circle and learn a new virtue. They read a story that illustrates the virtue and share what it means in their daily lives. Discover Learning Centers operate during the school year at four inner-city sites.
Volunteers work with the students one evening a week.
In 1999, this GMCC program tutored 105 students with the help of 48 volunteer tutors.
