We are committed to stop bullying, bigotry, and hate.

We stand against the devastating effects of bullying and low self-esteem.

We seek to soothe the hearts and minds of youth struggling with deep emotional scars.

Our programs instill hope and strengthen mental health, empowering youth to thrive and prosper.

ARTS PROGRAMMING: Each year, we impact more than 35,000 under-resourced youth through our art and music programs. We visit schools, community centers, and festivals, providing the safe spaces and tools youth need to thrive. Through creative self-expression, they grow their confidence and compassion and turn their pain into power.

ADVOCACY AND STORY-SHARING: We mentor and nurture peer-to-peer engagement with youth in 32 states and 23 countries. Our youth advocates inspire each other to promote kindness, create change, share their stories, and be their best selves. Our online story blog reaches hundreds of thousands around the world. It addresses topics important to today’s youth and provides valuable insight, inspiration, and resources.

WE CARE: We send personalized empowerment packages to youth struggling with bullying, their identity, or self-harm. We’ve gifted more than 20,000 to date. The research is clear: everyone needs someone in their corner. Everyone needs someone to fight alongside them and offer their full support. Knowing that someone cares makes all the difference. It can pull people out of their circumstances and help them lead a prosperous life. We’re proud to be that someone, providing youth with inspirational merchandise and personal messaging letting them know they’re not alone.
