Learning For Life programs teach life skills, career awareness, job training and leadership development to more than 15,000 elementary, middle and high school boys and girls in “hard to serve” neighborhoods. To qualify for a Learning For Life program, a school must have 40 percent or more of the students eligible for the federal free/reduced lunch program. Program leaders respond to the social, educational needs of the students served by adapting the curriculum in direct collaboration with requests from classroom teachers, principals and other community organizations. These curriculums include topics in community awareness, health and safety, science and nature and life skills. This is particularly important when children struggle with issues found in single-parent homes. Learning For Life is a subsidiary corporation of the Boy Scouts of America.
