SPEAK OUT! Cal-Nev-Ha CKI District Service Initiative 2013-2014: Anti-Bullying By Leonne Chung, District Service Chair Kathy Dong, District Service Committee Cristina Magdaleno, District Service Committee
Why is the DSI unique? • This is an issue that a lot of children, teens, and adults go through at school, the workplace, and the internet. • As of 2011, 20% of 9-12th grade students nationwide reported to have been bullied.
What is bullying? • Bullying is defined as unwanted, aggressive behavior towards a group or an individual. • Trademark behaviors of bullying include but are not limited to: making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically/verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.
Types of bullying • Verbal bullying: • teasing, name-calling, taunting, and threatening • Social bullying: • spreading rumors, leaving someone out, public emabarrasement • Physical bullying: • making rude hand gestures, hitting, pushing, etc....
Our Mission • To educate and train the community how to identify this problem as well as how to assist the victims. • Our goal is for CNH CKI to bring awareness about this problem that plagues our society through advocacy, action, and education.
Service Projects Ideas for You and Your School • Assist at walks and events hosted by the anti-bullying organizations. • Bullying Prevention Awareness Month is in October. • Host an anti-bullying/self-defense workshop at a your school, elementary school or high school. • Mentor children and teens who have been bullied.
MORE Service Project Ideas • Create a conflict-mediation program • Train your members in how to deal with conflict so they can act as mediators. • Anti-Bullying Night • Host an event partnering with an anti-bullying organization to bring awareness and to remember and honor the victims of bullying. • Boothing at your school with pamphlets and other means to educate your peers about bullying.
MORE Service Project Ideas! • Mentorship Program • This program can be for a day, a few days, a week, or all year even! • Create relationships with people who have been bullied. • Talk to the school and create a safe space so students can feel comfortable and welcome somewhere. • Any other IDEAS that are not listed in the slides! We definitely encourage creativity.
Organizations YOU can work with: • PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center • www.pacer.org/bullying • Stomp Out Bullying • www.stompoutbullying.org • The Trevor Project • www.thetrevorproject.org/ • Another great resource to find local orgs: • www.volunteermatch.org
How to Save Money and/or Fund for these Projects • Arts and Crafts Projects • Money from your college • There are some campus resources that will give you money if you need it for your club. You can contact your Student Council or any campus resources for it. • Creating a project where you can use the organization's resources. • Openly tell the organization your budget and see if they have ideas on how you and their organization can save on the project. • Work with a campus org. related to bullying • They will have some money that they can use to fund the project so less funds from your club will be used.
Things to look forward to: • You will be able to be more creative with the DSI. Think out of the box! • A Good Challenge for all clubs, big or small. • An issue that is becoming more widespread through the use of social media.
Things to Consider: • Difficult to have service projects with children who have been bullied, but there are alternative ways. • Because of the sensible nature of the issue, it might be difficult to be identified to those who are not trained. • Difficult to find local organizations to work with.
Significance to International Themes • Focusing on the Future: Children • Children are part of the future and with fighting against bullying, we will be able to help prevent children from experiencing these situations if they are educated about the topic.
