Testimonials by faculty & staff members at partner schools:
“Stand by Me has been an extremely successful and beneficial program on our campus! The students take their roles seriously and this initiative has led to a decrease in office reports of bullying. It has also helped us target ‘hot spots’ in our building, subsequently leading us to add more adult supervision to those areas.”
“Stand by Me is a good program. Student really took ownership in it. The meetings keep students motivated. Most [bullying] incidents don’t make a paper trail because they are out of sight of adults. It’s good that it is caught before a referral. Stand by Me is a deterrent. It decreases bullying referrals.”
“I love seeing the kids work things out with each other. The bullying incidents have dropped significantly and I believe it is due to this program empowering the students.”
