Jodi W., elementary school principal
“By working with a select group of 4th grade leaders, the Antibullying Through The Arts program has had a positive impact on the school culture. Students have learned how to identify bullying, how to prevent bullying, and how to build positive relationships through interactive events led by the Humanity Club student leaders. Since the induction of the program, we have seen a reduction in behavioral incidents, particularly in 4th and 5th grades, by 47%.”
lisa s., charter school principal
“Through your discussions, the arts, and games, the Humanity Club program has taught club members the value of respect for self and others. The students have also learned leadership skills that will certainly benefit them for years to come. The students have influenced their peers and younger students to create a more kind and respectful community at our school. They even mentored second grade and third grade students and reinforced the values of gratitude, self-worth, and respect. Thank you for your hard work and dedication with so many wonderful projects. The students learned so much when they had the opportunity to create a Humanity Garden on our school grounds. They were also able to work with other clubs on campus to maintain the garden. This has been a great addition to our school.”
Joanne J., Youth force team leader, Memorial Healthcare Systems
“As a program coordinator it has been a pleasure working with the Humanity Project, which reinforces the idea of respect for all people despite race, gender or sexual orientation. The Humanity Project has a positive impact not only on the students they have worked with but also for the school community.”
State Farm, Good Neighbors Magazine

“Kids who were bullies were seeing the other side. And the Humanity Project program forced kids who had been bullied to look through the eyes of the bully.”
Thank you letter from one grateful young Humanity Club member
Orika C., Parks Manager
“Thanks for offering the Humanity Project at our park this past summer. The program focused on building life skills for the young girls ages 9-10. The group of 10 handpicked girls were equipped with knowledge and skills that will last a lifetime.”
