Better Business Bureau Ethics Foundation is presenting the Youth4Ethics Forum in Maumee, on Wednesday, March 12, at the Pinnacle. Doors open for students at 8:30 a.m. for check-in. Youth4Ethics begins at 9 a.m. and concludes by 1 p.m. The event will host more than 100 students from seven counties across Ohio and Michigan.
Dr. Arthur Schwartz, president of Character.org, will speak to the students. He will catalyze his research on youth purpose, forgiveness, gratitude, altruism and grit. He will share his current conceptual framework for developing “leaders of character.”
Jamar Root, podcaster and inspirational speaker, is the creator of “Root of Everything” a podcast and YouTube show. Root will share his story to help guide students to “find their passion and navigate life decisions.”
Youth4Ethics is designed to challenge and empower students to develop and implement their own “personal code of conduct” founded on honesty, integrity and ethics as lifelong choices.
Youth4Ethics is being presented by Bonnie Zaruca, program manager, BBB Ethics Foundation and co-facilitated by six high school students who attended the forum last year. For more information, contact Zaruca at 419-343-3193 or bonnie @toledobbb.org.
