“Being an Ambassador has helped me not assume things about other people. When I see someone being mean, I think, 'What’s their story? Why would they do that?' Then I can help them change.”
–Safe School Ambassador, Brockport HS, New York

Our work to promote youth development—and specifically our efforts to create safer schools through our Safe School Ambassadors program—are made possible through the continued commitment of our team, and also by the generosity of our supporters: our individual contributors, foundations and school sponsors, and volunteers.

The contributions, pledges and grants of these generous individuals and organizations have helped us increase our capacity to fulfill our mission and specifically to expand the Safe School Ambassadors program.

As budgets shrink, many schools that clearly need Safe School Ambassadors simply cannot secure the funds to start the program, despite their high desire and commitment. To the students who are mistreated every day, outside support can make all the difference.

• $4,300 will train 40 Ambassadors and 8 staff at one school
• $2,150 will challenge one school to raise the other half of the funds they need to launch the Ambassadors program
• $1,000 will show a school that someone believes in them, and will inspire them to seek the remainder of the funds they need
• $500 will sponsor an Ambassador to attend a training conference and recognition event
• $100 covers the cost of a Program Advisor's Handbook
