The AVI Education Program Summary
The American Veterans Institute (AVI) education program will spotlight the service, sacrifice and civic contributions of our nation’s GIs. The program will be tied to the achievements of the American Veterans Hall of Honor inductees and to the American Veterans Research Library collection. The major components of this initiative are:
- An educational book series and accompanying classroom and take-home activities;
- Lesson plans, digital presentations, parent-child activities, in-house displays and exhibits (once the facility in Auburn, IN is finished), all focusing on the historic role of America’s military, the individual achievements of American GIs, and practical youth leadership skills for K-12.
- Leadership seminars and curriculum for business professionals and organizations.

The American Veterans Institute's Embracing Freedom series is now being used by several school districts in Ohio and Indiana. The goal of the series is to give young people an early appreciation for American History and to help them begin to seek out the history makers in their own families. The series encourages development of Language Arts skills and is tied to a leadership/character component that instills in students the belief that THEY can be leaders in their own lives. ALL programming will be tied to state Academic Content Standards. The books are written with relatable characters and situations so that youngsters can see our veterans and GIs as real people, such as parents, grandparents, neighbors and other familiar individuals.
Books and lesson plans/activity sheets are made available to schools as funding becomes available. The goal is to provide all materials to schools at no charge. Generous donations by the Miami County Foundation and the Tipp City Community Foundation have allowed AVI to produce books and develop curriculum. We thank both organizations for their support and encouragement.
We are currently seeking funding to produce books and lesson plans for the 2008-2009 school year for all districts that request them. To take a peek at the books currently in production or under development, please click on one of the selected pages below:
