Community Matters UP!stander Event
Community Matters presents a Showcase & Celebration online event May 20th, 9:00 am. It’s an interactive fundraiser to hear from and celebrate the youth and adults who choose to be UPSTANDERS every day, fostering schools and communities that are safe, welcoming & inclusive for all!
It's also a recognition of our drive to continue to provide the same great SEL services Community Matters is widely known for in schools, both locally and nationally. As schools closed across the country in early 2020, Community Matters became "instant Zoom experts" and moved our in-person trainings to virtual formats. Here are some highlights from the 20-21 school year to date:
- 700+ students trained as new Safe School Ambassadors through virtual platforms to date
- 430+ educators trained to use Restorative Practices approaches with students
- 32 parents trained on how to support digital wellness and citizenship with their kids
- 40 students trained in ATOD (Alcohol Tobacco, Other Drugs) Peer to Peer Prevention program
- 48 student Upstanders trained in our NEW Community Based SSA model
