To represent their progress in learning skills, knowledge, and information to support their transition to becoming a contributing member of society as an adult, members of the Creating a Village club work together to complete life management skills described in the How it Works section below. The tabs below represent both the knowledge pieces (Head, Heart, Hands, and Health) and the Harmony buttons (bravery, cleverness, loyalty, and patience). See the How It Works section below for more details.
To gain a body puzzle piece, youth will complete tasks around a specific topic area. Tasks will be marked completed through the demonstration of skills and sharing their understanding of new knowledge. The body puzzle is composed of 4 areas with each area connecting to 4 activities:
- Head
