PROGRAM RESULTS:
Celebrate Heroism was an effective program on multiple levels. It increased students’ and seniors’ technological skills and knowledge, introduced them to free resources they can access from anywhere (with internet), entertained all participants, and imparted valuable lessons in terms of character education and environmental stewardship. Beyond achieving initial objectives, the program also helped to build community resources and partnerships within the City of Laguna Beach and beyond.
