Curriculum

For the Boys

The Palala Boys Club curriculum is a collection of topics and corresponding discussion outlines for each week. The lessons are simple and easy to adapt to fit a variety of interests and needs. Unlike the PGC curriculum, there are no activity or project instructions included.

For the Girls

The Palala Girls Club uses two different curriculum tools. These tools are a PGC Curriculum Book full of stories and different lessons that are female-specific, and the second is a compilation of Craft Instructions to follow each lesson and serve the dual purpose of enhancing the learning experience and teaching the girls lifelong skills that may someday help them to generate an income.

Please feel free to download either of these resources and use them with your own club or youth group!
