Giving Schools Tools to Stop Violence
23% of Minnesota 5th and 8th grade students surveyed in 2022 reported being bullied or harassed weekly.
We partner with schools to change that.
(Minnesota Student Survey, 2022)
Our mission is to help schools be safer places, free from bullying and harassment, and help youth learn positive relational skills like empathy, respect, cooperation and how to resolve conflicts peacefully.
