A message that begins with dignity

Dr. Mary Jo Podgurski created National Each Person is a Person of Worth Day to affirm the inherent value of every human being.

The day invites us to choose compassion, recognize the strengths in others, and remind young people that who they are matters.

National Each Person is a Person of Worth Day
