Step Up and Stand Up
Step Up and Stand Up--Helping young girls and boys find their voice, stand up safely, and grow with confidence. This program is part of District 6040’s Peace and Conflict Resolution area of service. Melynn Sight, a fellow Rotarian and retired communications and strategy professional has put her skills to work helping young people build leadership skills.
Melynn developed Step Up for girls and Stand Up for boys to help students recognize bullying, think about their choices when they see bullying happen, and how to move from being a bystander to being an up stander. She has facilitated the Antibullying programs for 12 years, guiding students through conversations about friendship, role models, respect, and self-confidence to be able to step up safely in a bullying situation. Melynn will share what Step Up can mean for students—and how our Rotary club might help bring the program to a school in our community. |
