THE LOVE PROGRAM
PROGRAM CURRICULUM AND LESSON PLAN
L.O.V.E Diamond participates in bi-weekly self-development and career-building workshops. The workshops in our program primarily focus on self-empowerment, academic achievement, career building, and planning in the areas of (STEM) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In following these workshops, students will engage in circles of
conversations, which will serve as an assessment of the key concepts they have learned. In the space of ten weeks, students will be able to apply the student learning outcomes outlined below to their internal and external environment. Students will then utilize these workshops as a source of aid in the pursuit of completing a final project entitled “Project LOVE.” In week five of the program, students will be introduced to “Project LOVE” and expected to construct a service-learning program within their community that highlight the seven principles of development: Integrity, Self Love, Self Discipline, Self Empowerment, Education Planning, Career Planning, and Community Involvement. At the end of the program, students will then complete a final evaluation of L.O.V.E Diamonds and be assigned to a mentor. Formulate a sense of self-love, self-esteem, and self-empowerment.
