Stand Up to Bullying was created to educate, motivate and empower young people to actively promote social change in their schools and communities. The Stand Up to Bullying program was developed by a community coalition of over 50 organizations who worked in partnership with renowned bullying prevention authorities to ensure the most effective messaging and call to action for students and their educators. Stand Up to Bullying utilizes a combination of educational information, entertainment and special recognition to motivate students to stand up to bullying in their schools and communities.

 

The first Stand Up event took place on December 13, 2011 at Matthews Arena in Boston, Massachusetts. Over 4,000 teachers and middle and high school students took part in the day-long event.

 

Stand Up 2012 took place on November 29, 2012 at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts. Participants came from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire to participate.
