Buddy Mentoring Program
Close

Available at the middle and high school levels, the Overcoming Obstacles Buddy Mentoring program trains middle school seventh and eighth graders and high school juniors and seniors to facilitate character-building activities with younger students in their school community. The Buddy Mentoring program contains:

  • Comprehensive instructions on how to train students to facilitate Overcoming Obstacles lessons.
  • Over 20 full lesson plans, relevant to the needs and interests of young people.
  • Student-friendly curriculum that addresses school issues through the unique guidance offered by peer relationships.
Bullying
Close

Students today are surrounded by negativity and violence. From bullies in school to violence on television to guns in the hands of classmates, students deal with serious challenges to their physical and emotional well being every day. Students also hear and see so many conflicting opinions about the way they should look and act. It is not surprising that students often have low self-esteem, confused ideas of self-worth, and lack of confidence in their positive attributes. In this module:

  • Students address rules and respect, work on confronting and eliminating bullying in all its forms, affirm the high value of themselves and others.
  • Students understand why anger, insults, and violence are not answers to problems and conflicts. They learn practical, realistic ways to handle violence by exploring positive, non-violent strategies to cope with bullying.
