About Characters of Character NFP, Inc.
Characters of Character is a 501(3)(c) nonprofit organization. We are a character education program for children from pre-k through late elementary. Our program is used to establish a firm foundation in which children develop strong civic values.
The traits that Characters of Character focuses on are:
--Behavior --Perseverance
--Friendship --Health
--Kindness --Manners
--Respect --Responsibility
--Self-Esteem
Although our main goal is to continue to donate programs to schools or facilities that are interested and could benefit from our program, we also have many other big plans in our future. We would like to create a facility for children and their families to come together and learn about what it means to have good character. We believe that families need to be involved in the process of teaching children what it means to be a stand up citizen.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us!

Our organization
We believe that creating stand up citizens starts at an early age.
Characters of Character is committed to making a difference in the lives of as many children as possible. Our organization establishes a strong foundation for children to develop strong civic values. How you can get involved
Our main headquarters is located in McHenry, IL but our organization reaches out to the entire country and in the near future we hope to be working to help create better communities across the world!You can help us by raising awareness about our organization. We work hard to continue creating ways to help educators connect with their students. Our program and organization reaches children during the critical developing years. It becomes increasingly more difficult for children to comprehend proper choice and decision making if they are not taught about character at a young age. We create the building blocks for them to easily understand right from wrong as they continue growing into model citizens.

Looks like a great program. Catchy name too! Character forming is something overlooked in so many classrooms, and even homes.
