Empowered Gal

Looking for a breakthrough program to end bullying at your school? Look no further. In this 90 min or half day program, students will learn the basics of bullying and the steps they can take to become leaders and take action to stop bullying and promote a positive school environment - for everyone. Kate uses powerful true stories, teaches leadership skills, and encourages teens to discover their power to bring about change. What makes this program unique is that it doesn't focus on teaching students how to cope with bullying, but focuses on what every member of the school community can do to stop it and be a part of the solution. Because it's not just about stopping bullying - it's about creating a generation of caring, compassionate citizens committed to eliminating violence, cruelty, hate & intolerance.
