R.I.S.E. Above Campaign

48 students from three diverse high schools (CT River Academy, Windsor High School and Hartford Public High School) presented to their freshman classes this May and June to promote the R.I.S.E. Above Campaign for violence free schools. Thank you to Connecticut Health Foundation for sponsoring this wonderful program!

The goal of RISE is for schools to feel safer and more secure, free of fear, and that learning will be made easier because of students being actively involved in violence prevention efforts.

Take the pledge today!

I pledge to
• RESPECT everyone that I meet, and
• INTERVENE whenever I can, to
• SUPPORT those in need of my help, and
• EMPOWER our school to end all forms of violence.

YF Program Associate Skylar Ives gives a pep talk to students before they present to their freshman class.

R.I.S.E. Above leaders presented to their freshman classes this May/June 2017.

After each presentation, students signed a special banner and received their R.I.S.E. Above wristband and pledge card.

Thank you to Hartford Public High School for completing the first presentation!
