National History

HEER Progrfams Overview

In 1972, Continental Societies, Inc. initiated its national program "Operation Awareness; HEER -- Health, Education, Employment and Recreation".  Each component of our programmatic thrust was chosen because of its significance in the lives of all children and youth. In 1977, a fifth component, Arts and Humanities, was added.  These five areas provide the structure for continental service to the children we serve from babies to college students.

The Washington, DC chapter surveys, investigates, and reports the needs and problems of children and youth in its community and subsequently initiates and implements programs, projects, and activities in these areas designed to meet the community's needs. The projects range from health fairs and drug abuse programs to community health awareness seminars. "Reading is Fundamental" sponsorships, tutoring and scholarships awards, career and employability and job placement workshops, as well as cultural programs, etiquette and leadership academies all contribute to uplifting the lives of underserved children.

Special programs are developed to provide exposure to college campuses for students, stimulate their minds, broaden their cultural awareness, and brighten their future. The components of the Five Point Programmatic Thrust work independently collectively to maximize readiness future leaders.

REAL MEN READ
YES INDEED - IT'S GOLDEN!
REAL MEN READ

Introducing
REAL MEN READ

Real Men Read is a volunteer-driven program that brings male MENtors from the community into kindergarten classrooms to read five different books throughout the course of the school year.

The kindergarteners receive a book during each visit to build their own home libraries and share with their families. The intangible benefits are even greater. Since men tend to be seen as less involved in elementary education, spending time sharing books with a male role model allows all children to connect with the world of reading in a new and special way and encourages boys to see reading as something that guys enjoy too.
