The Legacy Haven Academy ("the Academy") Community Building Program fosters resilience, belonging, and connection among our students—orphans and homeless children—who benefit from our intake process addressing sensory issues. By recreating small-town social traditions on campus, we create safe, engaging spaces for growth and bonding through shared experiences. All events are in-person, emphasizing hands-on participation to build trust and community.
Frequency and Scale: Weekly to monthly events, with 96-120 for intimate settings and 768-960 for major gatherings, ensuring manageable group sizes.
Involvement: Student planners from relevant grade levels and classes (e.g., sociology for events, performing arts for dances) rotate to build leadership tied to curriculum.
Promotion: Relies on traditional signage (e.g., posters, bulletin boards) and daily announcements (e.g., morning intercom, class briefings)—no social media—to encourage community engagement and communication skills.
Budget: Funded by academic programs (e.g., culinary arts for food, sports for games, STEAM for arcade nights, sociology for events, performing arts for productions/dances).
