As an education initiative, the Legacy Project has three banner programs – LifeDreams, Across Generations, and Our World.
Each banner program takes a "big picture" perspective.
LifeDreams explores all aspects of living a life, and the hopes
and dreams we have for ourselves and our communities.
Across Generations explores and encourages closer connections between generations. Our World explores the world around us and our role in it, looking at issues like the environment. The Legacy Project's community programs include the traveling
Dream Exhibit, the World Dream Chest, Connect Your Community, and the opportunity to create, record, and share a Life Statement.

In keeping with the tradition in some cultures of writing an ethical will – which, instead of passing along valuables, passes along values – a Life Statement is a way to explore who you are, your relationships with others, and your impact on the world. Using our simple template, you can create and permanently record a Life Statement that shares your most significant life experiences, ideas, values, and hopes. It is a blueprint for living and a meaningful gift to the next generation. You can create a Life Statement to honor the memory of a parent, grandparent, or other family member, or you can create one for yourself as a special gift to your family, to celebrate the birth of a child or grandchild, or as a personal journey of discovery.
