Apply for the #ActToChange Inaugural Board of Directors!

Have you been teased for the way you look, what you wear, what you eat, where you’re from, how you talk, or other stereotypes?

Are you interested in working with students, educators, and school administrators to create supportive and safe learning environments?

Kids and teens are bullied in schools all across the country. Unfortunately, many Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) youth who are bullied face unique cultural, religious, and language barriers that can keep them from getting help. Learn about it. Talk about it. Stop it. Join more than 3,600 advocates and take the pledge. See our #ActToChange campaign supporters!
