Summary:

Approximately one in every four students experience bullying and nearly all students will witness bullying during their years in school. Research shows that bullying can lead to depression, substance abuse, poor health, delinquency and poor academic performance. 

The City of Orlando has launched Stand Up Orlando, an anti-bullying campaign with a focus on safety and positive relationships among Orlando's students, parents, administration and teachers. 

Stand Up Orlando includes a financial partnership between the City of Orlando and the Holocaust Center to provide its UpStanders curriculum programming to 6th and 7th grade students in nine City of Orlando public schools (Blanker, Carver, Glenridge, Howard, Jackson, Lake Nona, Lee, Memorial and Odyssey). The UpStanders program is a five-session program that includes field trips, guest speakers and in­-class programming that will be offered to 6th and 7th grade students in those participating schools during the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school year.

The cost of the two year UpStanders program is $100,000. The City has committed $50,000 toward this campaign with the other $50,000 coming from sponsors.
