Life and Values | |
Cesar E. Chavez was an ordinary man with an extraordinary legacy of service to humanity. While he is best known
for his lifelong effort to found and lead the first enduring farm
workers’ union in U.S. history, the significance and impact of his life
transcends any one cause or struggle. He forged a legacy of service,
conviction and principled leadership that serves as a beacon for all.
Because of Cesar's unique story, he is the perfect guide and inspiration for students, young and old. The Cesar E. Chavez Service Clubs are designed in a way that help middle school students think critically about his accomplishments and ways to identify and take action on the issues most important to them. The Ten Core Values of Cesar Chavez serve as the basis for instruction, and help students to articulate their own core values. Cesar's life is a model for the type of service and civic participation that we should all strive to achieve.
