DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH

Young people ages 15-25 are among the least served and highest risk populations in North America. They face rapid changes in responsibility levels, social resources, relationships, education and career opportunities. They are also most likely to be involved in life-altering, high-risk behaviors.

DISCOVERING BEAUTY AND BRILLIANCE

Throughout The Diamond Standard workshop series, the story of how a diamond develops from coal to become a brilliant gem is used as a metaphor for the personal development process. Participants begin to discover skills and resources that help them reveal, value and protect the treasure that lies within them.

LIVING A LIFE OF EXCELLENCE

The Diamond Standard builds a foundation for personal responsibility and character by addressing eight key components for successful adult development:

PHYSICAL HEALTH
PSYCHOLOGICAL & EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
LIFE SKILLS
ETHICAL BEHAVIOR
HEALTHY FAMILY & SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS
EDUCATION ATTAINMENT
CONSTRUCTIVE ENGAGEMENT
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

MULTI-FACETED TEACHING TOOLS

Each lesson of The Diamond Standard curriculum incorporates various teaching tools to engage the multi-modal learning styles of emerging adults:

QUESTIONS OF THE DAY
PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES & GAMES
FILL-IN-THE-BLANK WORKSHEETS
SMALL GROUP INTERACTION
