From The Dalai Lama ...

"I fully support the Virtues Project which promotes such universal values as love, kindness, justice and service. May you be successful in your endeavor."

From the Seattle Times ...

“The Virtues Guide is no sanctimonious tome. Its aim is to help pass on some basic values for living together, shared by cultures and faiths around the globe.”

Lee Moriwaki

From Dene Netset’detan, Yukon ...

“The Virtues Project is so simple and straight-forward. It is culturally and spiritually relevant to our people. The virtues are the traditional way of life for our people. We walk this thin line between traditional and contemporary religions and the Virtues Project cuts through both of them.. It reawakens our natural way of being.”

Bev Sembsmoen

From the Church Council of Greater Seattle, Washington ...

“Never in my fifteen years at the Church Council, have we sponsored a program that has generated as enthusiastic a response as The Virtue Project. From individuals, congregations, and community centers, we are hearing choruses of appreciation for this unique program. There are many excellent parent-training programs available, but The Virtues Project is distinctive in offering a spiritually oriented program for creating self esteem in children based on moral development, and linking the family journey with the faith journey.”

The Rev. David C. Bloom

From Saskatoon Star-Phoenix ...

“The Virtues Guide is a practical, grass roots, and long term approach to developing virtues we need to build a just and sustainable world order.”

Paul Hanley

From a California School Superintendent ...

“For parents who find themselves raising children in a world without moral foundation, finally we have something based on the spiritual realm.”

Dr. T. Kneisler

From Kingcome First Nation, British Columbia ...

“The Virtue Project brought light to our community and awakened our spirit… not only by giving us new ways to teach our children but by showing us how to look and think about ourselves too… a dream come true.”

Fran Dick

From Youth Services, Yukon Territorial Government ...

“The Virtues Project is a building block for the community. It’s grass roots. It’s ‘Mom'”.
