Our
Mission
- Teach
kids the skills to handle relational aggression,
problems, conflicts and opportunities.

confidence, self-esteem, social skills and character.
- Inspire
kids to stand up for themselves and others.
- Provide
parents and schools with training and tools to
stop bullying and relational aggression.

Our
Philosophy
We do not believe in using fear of tragic incidents like Columbine or punishment
as a way to “scare” students into not being mean. Children will
choose to do the right thing when given the skills, tools and a supporting
environment. Kids Empowered:
- Provides
programs that teach skills, increase awareness and
understanding of the issues.
- Creates
structure and a process for schools to manage the issues.
- Inspires
kids and adults to take a stand against meanness and
to do the right thing.
The
Kids Empowered curriculum teaches children not to be
victims, but to use their voice and their power in a
way that makes a difference in the world. We do not tell
kids who to be, but teach them the skills and awareness
needed to choose who they want to be. We teach kids to
be EMPOWERED!
