Through Social Good Projects (SGP), Thiebaut Method improves communities in real and innovative ways.
Thiebaut Method helps middle schoolers to create an impact in their community, driven by their own intrinsic motivation to help others. They learn real-life skills such as project management, digital literacy, developing partnerships and collaboration, and time management. They learn these through working with partners and professional mentors as part of their social good projects.
