Make Your School No Place For Hate
Bring No Place for Hate® to Your School or Lead a No Place for Hate® Project at Your School:
If your school is not already participating in the Anti-Defamation League’s No Place for Hate® program, be a leader and discuss the possibility with your teachers and school principal. You can help to reduce bias and bullying, increase appreciation for diversity and ensure your school is a community of respect. There is no cost to your school and you can work to meet the unique culture of your school. Your school principal or other administrator must contact the ADL. If your school is already No Place for Hate®, you can help your school in continuing to complete at least three school wide projects. Join your schools No Place for Hate® Committee. Take the lead on one or more of those projects. Make sure your school and everyone in it understands what it means to be No Place for Hate®.
