Empower Teachers & Parents Across the Nation to Inspire the Next Generation of Leaders

Now more than ever, children need role models who can inspire them to lead lives of upstanding character. Who better to help shape the impressionable minds of our children than our nation’s heroes?

The Character Development Program (CDP) provides free lessons and resources for educators that teach students what it means to lead lives of courage, sacrifice, integrity, commitment, citizenship, and patriotism directly from Medal of Honor Recipients, our country’s true heroes. For 15 years, CDP has been bringing these values into classrooms nationwide.

As a 501(c)(3), we rely on your support to continue providing these free lessons and resources to classrooms across the country. You can make a direct impact on the next generation of leaders with a one-time or recurring gift to the Medal of Honor Foundation.
