Education Team:
The Education Team helps to develop and promote all of the educational offerings for children and teens.
​
The curriculum is built to reflect ethical core values. The goal is to provide children with skills and knowledge to help them make ethical choices and learn to respect the inherent worth of every human being. Children are encouraged to respect and learn about themselves and their environment and to examine how their own ideas and actions impact the greater world.

Lessons are developed to aid with the exploration of the Children's Ethical Core Values through books, discussions, reflections, music, and hands-on activities. 


It is fundamental to our mission as a multigenerational community to ensure that we have excellent programming for children of all ages.
 Programming for children and teens is something that attracts individuals and families to the our community.

Education Committee Chair: Jessi Almstead

Ethical Action Team:
Ethical Action is an expression of our core commitments:

  • to honor the worth of all people 
  • to cultivate relationships 
  • to build justice

The SVES Ethical Action Team promotes and coordinates actions and events between SVES and our surrounding communities that contribute to building a more humane world. In this way the Ethical Action Committee provides opportunities for the personal ethical growth of our members, and for enhancing the ethical grounding of our public systems and institutions.

Team Chair: Phyllis Marquette
