Hometown Heroes
Real stories about real people who have overcome adversity to do great things.
These stories are so relatable to the kids and families that we serve, and they inspire us all to keep on going. We want to glimpse in the rear view mirror long enough to learn the lessons through our heroes who have lived the lessons. We then celebrate the windshield view filled with success, hope, and a wide impact for good!
Active Discovery creates curriculum outlines to use the Hometown Hero videos for elementary, high School, and the adult population of those organizations we serve.
