Advance study in the science of service

I am Program Manager of the Philadelphia Health Corps and would like other national service program staff, members and those involved in service learning to know about an amazing opportunity to attend a year-long service learning program free of cost. It is sponsored by the University of Human Goodness,  made up of some very smart and special folks I've had the pleasure of working with for a number of years. They provided a training to three AmeriCorps programs last year and got rave reviews. I am sending the short version of their information. If you want the full brochure, request it from me at hlthcorp@voicenet.com or contact the University directly at inquiry@ufhg.org.

Soul-Centered Education for a Lifetime

University for Human Goodness Programs  2000-2001

Would you like to have an experience so compelling, so fulfilling that day-to-day life takes on new meaning and renewed possibilities? 

You can!

What more than 50,000 people have found invaluable to their success is now available to qualified students of the University for Human Goodness (UfHG). This opportunity comes with a full scholarship to boot (including room and board)! 

Soul-Centered Education for a Lifetime

 The Soul-Centered Education for a Lifetime Program builds common sense, clear thinking, interpersonal and leadership skills, freedom from barriers, and a clearer sense of life purpose.  At the UfHG, the focus is on what works!  This program is the planned outgrowth of the organization's internationally acclaimed, all-volunteer project  which, for 14+ years, provided free, hands-on care for terminally ill adults and developmentally disabled children. The resulting discoveries about human relations, effective group work, and spirituality are the cornerstones of this program. This knowledge has inspired the  development of more than 20 other volunteer-based service organizations throughout the US.  The teachers and facilitators are members of the board of directors of the UfHG. 

 The University is not a religious organization. People of all faiths, backgrounds, and ages (students range from 12 - 81 years old) discover a common ground through their spiritual connection with the goodness or soul within.  As a result, students grow personally, professionally and spiritually.

Outcomes Include

- Deeper meaning and purpose in life

- Entrepreneurial and leadership abilities

The program combines three elements: service, study, and reflection. It empowers students to realize their potential while making a positive impact on those around them.

Part-time students, living off-campus, may take one or more weekly classes and serve a minimum of 6 hours per week for each class.
