Hey, my name is Tamara. And this is the story of Love In A Big World.

I started working with kids when I was in high school – camps, community organizations, schools. After graduating from college, I was a substitute teacher for urban schools in Nashville. The kids were tough, but I told them that if we had a good day I’d sing for them. While we were waiting for the buses to be called, I’d sing…they sang too…and we’d talk about life. I thought, “Can music be used to teach kids about making wise choices?” And Love In A Big World was born.

Over the past eleven years, Love In A Big World has grown from me and the kids in the classroom to a team of people reaching out to kids across the country. We’ve worked with over 325,000 kids in over 225 schools throughout 10 states…and it keeps growing.

Love In A Big World now provides assemblies, curriculum, teacher training, and classroom resources. Love In A Big World is participating in the first Federal Social & Character Development Research Project with the U.S. Department of Education, Institute for Educational Sciences and Vanderbilt University. And we are currently developing an educational television show for kids ages 8-12

The goal of Love In A Big World is to connect with kids…to let them know that they are not alone in this big world…to teach them how to make wise choices…to give them hope.

Love In A Big World

to make wise choices,
build strong character,
