Hope Squad is a student-led, peer-to-peer support program that harnesses school connectedness to reduce the risk of suicide. At the elementary level, our focus is on topics like preventing bullying and promoting kindness. Our squad is made up of fifth graders who are trained to support others through mindfulness tools or connections with trusted adults. Squad members also read relevant books, such as Zero and One, to younger students to increase their awareness of bullying.<\/p>\n
The Junior Coach Program is a youth leadership program open to fourth and fifth graders at Brown Street. Junior Coaches support their peers during recess, ensuring that all students feel welcomed and involved in playground activities. Through monthly training sessions, they learn how to serve as peer role models and develop skills like responsibility, effective communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. Our Junior Coaches highlight the positive impact that young people can have on our school community.<\/p>\n
