Welcome to our website!

Partners for Citizenship & Character serves as a catalyst to initiate, promote, and develop programs to build character and strengthen community. We envision a character-building community where caring, engaged citizens serve with moral courage.

What is Citizenship & Character? That’s a great question, and the answer is something deeper than words. It requires all of the qualities PCC emphasizes each month and more. It is really a lifelong commitment to encouraging these qualities first within ourselves and then in our community.

Each month, Worthington’s Partners for Citizenship and Character (PCC) spotlights a character trait to help focus its activity in the community. The trait for August is integrity.

The dictionaries indicate several meanings of integrity that shade into each other. Perhaps central for us is this one: "an uncompromising adherence to a code of moral, artistic, or other values," but also important are "an unimpaired condition" and "the quality or state of being complete or undivided."

Here is what the PCC Resources Work Team said about people of integrity: They "maintain a high degree of consistency between what they say and what they do; they 'walk the talk.'"

What does it mean for you to be a person of integrity? For your family to do so? Your institution? Your community?
