  About Us  


CHARACTER COUNTS! is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonsectarian coalition.  We are the nation's most widely used character-development framework, adopted by schools as well as youth, sports and civic organizations.  Our local chapter is part of a national grassroots initiative that has no ideological or political agenda other than strengthening the moral fiber of the next generation by promoting consensus ethical values.  We promote and support the development of the personal and organizational integration of the Six Pillars of Character throughout the community.

Mission

We want to create a community where the Six Pillars of Character are understood and seen in every segment of the City so that youth and adults in Knoxville will be continually reminded of the importance of good behavior.  Our vision is to elevate the quality of character throughout the city to enable Knoxville to become one of the best places in the country in which to live, to raise children, to go to school, and to conduct business.
