CHARLIE ACADEMY X FCCLA (3) Use leadership lessons from Charlie Academy and Kindness 101 videos for Power of One goals.
Power of One helps students find and use their personal power.
Members set their own goals, work to achieve them, and enjoy the results. The skills members learn in Power of One help them now and in the future in school, with friends and family, in their future at college, and on the job.
Have you ever thought about a special goal? Maybe you would like to develop better study habits, cope with a physical challenge, get along with a sibling, improve job skills, become a leader – or any other personal goal. Power of One is for You! You select the goals most important to you, then create a plan of action to meet them.
