About Project HEARTS

Project HEARTS delivers The Dibble Institute’s Love Notes evidence-based curriculum and focuses on enhancing personal responsibility, promoting self-regulation, developing goal setting skills, contributing to healthy relationships and an improved quality of life for youth and the community at large.

Project HEARTS aims to empower young people, ages 14-19, to learn more about themselves, create a vision for their future, make informed decisions, and develop healthy successful relationships. The series of workshops are broken up to total 12 hours of instruction, typically over a 2-3 week time span. Simply by participating, eligible young people can earn financial incentives and gift items meant to assist in their educational and future endeavors. A Love Notes workbook from The Dibble Institute’s curriculum is utilized in workshops and provided to each youth for their own continued self-reflection and self-exploration.

If you are 14-19 years old, in at least 9th grade, you will receive:

Free snacks
Swag bag
The Dibble Institute’s Love Notes SRA 4.0 Curriculum materials
Up to $150+ in gift cards

Love Notes Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA) Edition addresses these issues by building skills and knowledge for healthy relationships of all kinds: romantic, friendship, family, school, and work… youth learn more about themselves: how their past has shaped the present and how to make decisions on what they want for their own future. They learn what healthy relationships are and are not while building a set of skills for choosing friends and partners, and for developing and maintaining healthy relationships, including evidence-based communication and conflict management skills.
