Community Outreach
Legacy Project
The Legacy Project's community outreach is all about building community online and in the real world.

Legacy Project Community Outreach

In addition to our YOU 177 global initiative, we do other work in communities. We offer engaging and inspiring school presentations, personal and professional development workshops, and keynotes. Our annual Listen to a Life Essay Contest receives thousands of entries. The Dream Exhibit is traveling to museums and libraries across Canada and the US. Connect Your Community offers ideas for great community events you can create. Share The Dream encourages you to get creative with a YouTube video. Un-Ads are a chance to celebrate what really matters to you. Children and teens are becoming TreeKeepers in support of the global Earth Charter and the Legacy Center arboretum. And you can record a Life Statement as a blueprint for living.

Create, Connect, Change with the Legacy Project at www.legacyproject.org.

Life Statements

Adults and young people can take a journey of self-discovery by creating a Life Statement. In keeping with the tradition in some cultures of writing an ethical will – which, instead of passing along valuables, passes along values – a Life Statement is a way to explore who you are, your relationships with others, and your impact on the world. Using our simple templates, you can create and permanently record a Life Statement that shares your most significant life experiences, ideas, values, and hopes. It's a blueprint for living and a gift to others as part of a meaningful online learning community. more
