PROJEKT HERO
projekt: a planned undertaking
hero: an object of extreme admiration and devotion
This projekt is to challenge, encourage, and equip young people to be a hero.
To be a hero, you don't have to...
-possess super powers
-go by the name Superman, Batman, or Spiderman
-be famous, popular, or even be well known.
Being a hero doesn't even consist of flying around in spandex, crawling the heights of skyscrapers, or shooting things with laser vision. (Though all of these could be super fun!)
Being a hero is so much more!
It is simply doing the right thing. Even when it's hard - even if it's going against the crowd...
It is standing up for what you believe in.
...putting down that gun, knife, or razor blade; befriending the unwanted and embracing the broken; saying "no" to drugs and drunkenness; making safe and educated sexual desicions (abstinence); getting involved in some sort of outreach or service to others; choosing life...!
PROJEKT HERO: positively impacting the lives of young people by encouraging them to be a hero and giving them hope.
