Ignite Character is ultimately designed to capture the passion, energy and dedication of those students who are already trying to make good decisions and to be people of character. Through the Ignite process your students will be provided a safe and supportive environment for their ideas, strategies, leadership and service—and will join with other potential student role-models who wish to focus on motivating their peers to become more conscious of their choices and more committed to making good decisions.

Ignite Character will prepare, empower and nurture your students and staff as your character education initiative evolves through the active leadership of your students within the building and out into the community.

One of Ignites newest additions to Ignite Character is showcasing Ignite Student Ambassadors. Ambassadors of character are students of all ages, who are identified as potential leaders in your building.
