School's Out For Summer

Ding dong. The school bell is ringing for our Humanity Project student programs for the 2025-26 academic year. Now it’s time for a quick breather as we continue to work on our other efforts — and prepare for the 2026-27 school year.

There was much to smile about over the past several months in schools. We reached several thousand students in several schools locally, instilling a deeper and stronger sense of self-worth along with a better understanding of equality and respect for every individual. School counselors, teachers and administrators all offered strong praise for our Humanity Club and Antibullying Through The Arts programs in their schools. One school director noted the “improved overall mood and sense of community in our school.” Another said our program fostered “a calm, comfortable and peaceful environment for students, teachers and staff alike.”

Students were just as enthusiastic. “The Humanity Project helped me remember that I am somebody!” wrote one young girl. Another student said in our post-program survey: “The Humanity Club program helped me believe in myself.” Yet another girl wrote: “It helped me know what are the meanings of respect and kindness.”

A big thank you to the schools, counselors and teachers that helped us deliver these programs to their students. Especially teacher (and Humanity Project board director) Piper Spencer. We also offer our sincere gratitude to The Our Fund Foundation, Community Foundation of Broward and FLoatarama for their essential funding in support of this work.

We look forward to the next school year. If you’d like to bring our free programs to your school, please get in touch with the Humanity Project. We wish all our kids, and all kids everywhere, a safe and happy and healthy summer of 2026.
