Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Children & Youth, Education, Secondary & High Schools, Unknown, Youth Development

Mission: So many of our youth are in need of hearing that their lives have value and meaning. Statistics currently show a staggering rise in low self worth, bullying, and suicide, which are but a few of the very serious issues rapidly becoming epidemics throughout our school system. It is our mission to reach out to as many schools as we possibly can with an encouraging message of hope. We strive to help students recognize that their lives are important and that they are making an impact in the world around them each and every day. The question is “Is their impact a positive or a negative one?” The Measured By Character message focuses on personal legacy, bullying, self worth, uniqueness, suicide, accountability, responsibility, love and kindness. Measured By Character is bringing this unique character education program to schools everywhere. The message we share has been proven to make a difference. Principals, counselors, students, and community members who have attended the Measured By Character program continually share with us what an enormous difference it is making. The program resonates throughout the student body, eliciting thought provoking reflection and looking at life through different eyes.

I’ve seen students and young adults lives changed by the Measured By Character program.
We have students after every event tell us how MBC saved their life that day. They had decided to end their lives not seeing any hope or a way out. Measured By Character gives them hope and the tools to handle all life throws at them.
From a student at the last event

“I just wanted to send my personal gratitude to Mr. White and the entire crew that were at my school today; today was very inspiring to me, dealing with depression is never easy. I was very close to just ending all of the pain, but you pushed me to wait out the bad and make what I have to be positive. My sister passed a few months ago and it devastated our family, my father couldn't find a way to cope so he turned to drinking which makes everything worse than it is. I love my sister she was my best friend, and I know that sounds so cliche, but its the truth. I didn't know if I could live without her in my life but listening to you, I know she will always be with me, even if I cant see her. You are an absolute blessing!!! I hope you know that you saved my life and I will always appreciate you, I owe you the world!! I will pray for your whole family. Thank you!!!!!!!”

I have personally witnessed lives impacted and heard success stories from parents whose kids have come home with a different and fresh new positive view on life, themselves and their peers after having Measured By Character come to their school. This program is a MUST for every school! Our teens need to know that they matter and that they can be the change they wish to see in the world!

I believe this nonprofit born from pain has the greatest impact on our children and grandchildren from their level I've ever seen. It affected my family personally and they have my total support forever.
