What We Do

Project RAISEAware Students

Borne out of the need to give children support to develop, by modelling cooperation, empathy, and mutual respect in the classroom, we prepare them to be leaders and change-makers in their communities.

Through education, we can advance our shared mission of transforming our culture of domination and exploitation into one of collaboration and partnership.

Prohibiting Children from Violence and Abuse

We’re devoted to keeping children safe from violence and abuse. Far too many children have experienced trauma that may cause them to act out, withdraw, or have difficulty paying attention—impeding their ability to learn and thrive.

By training teachers, parents, and other adults to recognise, respond to, and report child abuse and violence as well as teaching children to recognise and report abuse when it occurs, we can make a difference in the lives of children.

Bullying Prevention

Dedicated to promoting the safety, well-being, and success of children in school and in life. Empower kids and the adults around them with information and resources to help understand what bullying is, who is affected by it, and community can do to prevent it.

Research shows that feeling unsafe at school affects a student’s ability to learn, focus, and take academic risks. With safety and student success on the line, we’ve been consistent and unwavering in our work to prevent bullying. Our Bullying Prevention Unit is taught in conjunction with our SEL curriculum in classrooms across the country.

Promoting SEL Skills

We’re committed to developing and supporting the use of research-based social-emotional learning (SEL) curricula in and out of school. SEL creates a positive school climate that supports learning and academic success while narrowing the achievement gap.

Contributing to greater well-being, social-emotional skills help prevent youth violence, bullying, and substance abuse.
