Feasibility Study Identifies Opportunity Caleb Sedam, Logansport, IN

Middle School Civics and Character-Based Education Paul Scheeler, Mason, OH

Through the generosity of the Jessie Ball duPont Fund in FY 2016, Derek Stewart, Deerfield Beach, a feasibility study was completed to determine the market for a FL civics and character-based middle school program. Participa- tion in the study consisted of 120 teachers and school adminis- trators who were surveyed to determine the level of interest and support for the idea. Political scientist and researcher, Diane Owens from Georgetown University conducted the survey. Her findings revealed significant support for a middle school program focused on responsible citizenship and character. The benefits of a middle school program include bringing civics and character to students at an age where they are still forming their identity while discovering and defining the principles that will guide their development as citizens. In addition, we would be bringing the programs to the schools, thus eliminating the travel barrier. The program would be held for an entire grade for increased impact (between 100—500 students). It would include a local service component, be national in scope, and include impact measurements and a potential research component. The middle school initiative will be further explored by our board as a potential educational offering in the future.

We were extremely successful in FY 2016 as a result of increased funding from the Murdock Trust (increasing by 50%), the Bradley Foun- dation (by 28%) and the Medal of Honor Foundation and Society, who more than doubled their support.

These substantial results from both staff and Board members brought us within $100,000 of our goal by midyear.
