Stand for Courage
Stand for Courage is a youth-led bullying prevention initiative that empowers students to take an active role in creating safer, more inclusive school communities.
Through peer leadership, awareness campaigns, and student voice, young people work together to challenge bullying, promote respect, and support classmates who may feel excluded or targeted. The approach centers on the belief that students themselves are powerful agents for shaping a positive school culture.
