   Stand For Courage

   Feb 2011 — Present

   When youth get the attention they seek by doing the right thing, we can create a self-sustaining culture of courage and inclusivity. Stand for Courage provides the recognition, community support and cultural currency to shift an entire generation from dominance and bullying to inclusivity and compassion.When reward systems change, so does behavior. We recognize and reward positive behavior in culturally significant ways, creating a domino effect among youth and their peers. Backed by science along with local and national celebrities, Stand for Courage is a recognized cultural movement for a new generation based on hope, possibility and encouragement.What makes Stand for Courage unique- A universal program calling attention to the power of bystanders to disrupt the cycle of bullying behaviors- A model that disrupts bullying behavior by drawing attention and teaching the expected behaviors (kindness)- A model that provides a low-level response to bullying that helps create a positive climate- A model that requires a good deal of courage, which is why we incentivize it
