Twin City Host Lions Club says, “Youth today are not like youth 10 to 15 years ago. Fortunately, because Lions Quest is evidence-based, it sees what works and what doesn't and evolves as technology and our lives evolve.” In the new curriculum, materials are being revised to be more dynamic and student-centered, while also being shorter and more streamlined. The goal is to make the lessons easier to use and more effective. Each curated resource works seamlessly to help children and young adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish positive relationships and make responsible decisions. Chip Harris, trainer at Lions Quest says, “I think the social and emotional learning pieces of the Lions Quest program are critical. They were critical when I started my career over 40 years ago, and they're equally, maybe more important today, largely because social and emotional learning brings people together, and allows them to be able to respect and appreciate each other.”In only four decades, Lions Quest has shaped social and emotional learning for millions of youth around the world. As the program evolves, it will continue offering students curriculum and resources to build the skills needed to navigate life and prevent bullying and substance abuse. This proactive evolution will propel Lions Quest’s legacy of innovation into the next decade. Visit www.lions-quest.org to learn more.21 AUGUST 2024 LION
